Cavet Emptor. I bought a pair of these years ago, and they still grew "beards", even after following "care and feeding" instructions.
I would recommend The Scottish Tartans Museum, Dunadd Trading Co. in Scotland (both Matt and Chris are members here) or the Tartan Thistle in Washington State. Norcalpiper, another member, is also a good source.

There are also alternatives to diced hose. Have you seen these?

They look wonderful! I plan on getting a pair or three in the very near future.
