    No, you cannot buy diced hose for that price. J Higgins is the lowest price available. They are $60.00 a pair.

    Know that the Higgins diced hose are straight, not shaped to the leg like traditional diced/tartan hose are. So, the pattern on Higgins hose is distorted/stretched at the calf.

    Good thing my calves are rather thin.

    Unfortunately, I pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of the Higgins diced hose before I saw your reply. They came in just today and the distortion is really extreme over the calf. The squares turn into stretched out diamonds. So its a total waste for me.
