I have a hose question

[James MacMillan]

Here lately, I've become a fan of the piper hose with popcorn tops. I have 19" calves, and they fit fine! Severla shops have had some sales on them, and I now have five pair.

Another choice I have that are very accomodating of larger claves due to their stretchability are the "country" hose collection from Scotweb. They have some plain varieties as welll as some with lovely patterned turnover tops, and some even with old style tie garters. I find them to be very well made, sturdy, and very elastic in their tops.

I also have several sets of pipers hose from scottish lion (best price I have found on the net) in a variety of colors. The white are mostly acrylic but all the colors are actually 70-80% wool, despite what their website description says. In my book, these are the best value for the looks and quality.

Hamilton Dry Goods Cable Knit Hose are my most comfortable socks. At least two times a week I wear them with what I have to wear to work instead of a kilt.
