DURABLE kilt hose

[george7]

My kilt hose from JHiggins seem to last. I have a pair I've worn for years. My oldest pair of kilt hose (that I only wear for formal or piping) is a pair of hand-knit wool piper's hose... they look good as new even through the washing machine.

I'm a poor sap and I can't afford those $50 per hose, and that's just one color. yikes!

So, all my store bought hose have been J Higgins, at $16 a piece you cant beat them, an 80/20 wool blend that I wear daily, doing so for the last 2-3 months and they are all still intact. Several washes included.

Guess I should take a closer look at the J Higgins hose selection. I didn't notice that they were wool blend, and thought they were all acrylic/nylon.

Although, Cavebear58 looks to be in the UK.

For everyday wear Rugby socks work really well.

I swear by these too, Jock! I have a number of the 4 ply, and several pairs of the 8 ply. The latter are indestructible!

I know these are cheap and cheerful but they last OK, a number of colours and in some they go up to a UK 15 (US16), at £4.99 a go its got to be worth it.

I wear these as well. They do wear like iron. Here's the link to their web page.

Thanks very much for all the useful suggestions. I must admit I'd thought of shooting stockings, but rugby had never occured to me. Must admit the almostunwearoutables sound excellent though.

I'll do a bit more hunting around.

Cheers, Graham.

Aye, I even splurged for a couple pair of these back in February. I wore a black pair with my wedding attire and opted for the 4ply since it was on the beach in Florida. I would love to try a couple pairs in the thicker 8ply for the cold months. Another reason I went with them, was they were willing to custome fit my size 15 feet, 19.5 calves and legs. The only thing holding me back is the exchange rate at this point.
