    How to wear hosetops?

    How are you supposed to wear these? I bought these from GlengarryHats.com and thought that they were longer.

    I don't own any so I can't really help you but I will say that they look very nice.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Wear really cushy padded ankle-length athletic socks; I think they're supposed to be for tennis, with the hose tops above; the turn-down 2 (or preferably 3) fingers beneath your knee, with wingtip brogues and white military spats. Your flashes should "split the diamond"; be lined up with the center of your leg. These are generally worn only by pipers and drummers.

    Those are to be worn with spats, usually in pipe bands.

    Not to take the post off topic, but I wonder how hard it would be to attach some feet to them.

    GIMPShop. The Irony... big pins going through your feet = gimp. Very powerful software for the price.
