I waited ever so patiently, a month extra for navy hose here (my fault for not checking availability). Much to my pleasure, and I watched its travel daily, my basic shipping was expedited courtesy Scotweb!

Many at X Marks helped me with advice in ordering, with a special mention to AKScott. I'm quite pleased with this Balmoral in Locharron 16 oz wool.

After much fretting over the length, I think I made the right call. My only regret was the waist. Everyone says to measure snugly at your natural waist and warns not to use your pants' size, but I probably should have. It's a little tighter than snug.

But alas. That one is my fault and a lesson learned. Scotweb did a wonderful job, and I came to be familiar with their friendly customer service over the months!

It's just impossible to capture the vibrant colors in a photo, but these come closest.
