kilt hose vs. shooting socks

[Domehead]

Jock Scot,
I agree with your sentiment. I'm simply saying, I asumed that "kilt" hose and "shooting" sock were euphemisms for essentially the same thing. I find it interesting that there seems a structural difference between the two - specific to for a kilt versus, for Plus-4's, say. My initial assumption was born from images of Prince Charles (among other more vintage images) in patterned turn-overs, and the myriad offerings from HoC, New House Highland, et al.

As for me, personally I feel better that my hose position being slightly outside the "norm" (whatever that is) is a construction issue and not an error. After all, my efforts attempt to balance my comfort / confidence with respect for individuals such as you (collectively).
