LONG kilt hose

[McMurdo]

Hawick Hose, Lewis Line from Matt at the Scottish Tartan Museum if you want plain colours, or Pete at Canadian Casual Kilts if you want Argyll tops. They are long enough unless you're 8 feet tall.

I'm 6' 5" and Cavscout has hooked me up with some hose that, when unfolded go way up my leg. The top is well up my thigh.

That sounds like the piper hose from Scottishlion. I wear a true 36" inseam and those hose go to mid thigh

The Scottishlion's piper hose are 80% acrlic and 20% nylon.
Cavscout's are 70% wool, 30% nylon which are more expensive so... How do the scottishlion's hose wear?

I have not paid attention to the content but I would believe others who have stated that the non -white/ cream Scotishlions have a fair amount of wool content.
As to wear I have only worn them a couple of times [been concentration on other things this summer] but they are quite comfortable and stay up well on my skinny legs.

cheers

I called Scottishlion a few months ago about another item and asked them about the hose, and the customer service person said their website lists them as acrylic but only the white ones are acrylic while the colors are indeed about 70% wool. I too am 6'5" although my inseam is only 34 inches, but mine also go well up my thigh before I fold them over (several times I might add). I have several pairs and can attest to their wool content (at least my wife can as she is allergic to the wool and reacted to the colored pairs I bought but not the white). Well made socks for the price, in my opinion.

Scotweb also carries some of what they call highland socks which also are quite long with some interesting color patterns for the foldover tops, albeit a bit more expensive. They too are very nice (I have a couple pairs of them too) and long. Stretchy too.

I think a may have to try each one.

They do have the wool blend, over-the-knee socks in a color I have been looking for. I've got to get something to replace those cream hose soon...

Still sifting through all the things they have listed there, though.

Check out the Belts section! They have traditional-style garter ties. You can pick the colors you want, which is nice. I'm going to get a pair with the primary color being navy and the secondary being light blue- that will match my Clergy tartan USAK beautifully!

Thanks for pointing out the garter ties, Nighthawk, they do have a bunch of colors.

They have knee breeches and all kinds of other items too. Definitly a site to bookmark.
