Does it get any better?

Which hose were those? I see some called "Bridgedale Blaxnit Garland Socks" - is that what you're talking about, or something else? The ones I mentioned are an excellent price, if they work as kilt hose!

I'll have to check into these myself. That's an excellent price.

Just to let everyone know, I did get some of these socks. I got one pair in each color as I just couldn't pass on the price. They work great as kilt hose, with a good length and nice thickness. They even went up over my big calves without a problem. My only desire would be for them to come in more standard colors - black, navy, etc. But if you've got the clothes to match them with, they will work great.

I agree with you on the use as kilt hose; I got a pair in cinnamon that work great pulled up, or pushed down the way I prefer.

How bright are the gold ones? Is gold just another name for yellow?

They're not yellow. Gold is a good name for them, sort of a yellowish-tan. Sorry, that's the best I can describe them. They are close enough to yellow that I can probably wear them to bring out the yellow stripe in my MacIan tartan.
