i read on here somewhere, about getting some kilt hose at dick's sporting goods. a big thank you to whoever mentioned that first. anyhow i went to dunham's sporting goods, and found that they carry scoccer/rugby socks that work perfectly as kilt hose, well made and cost affective at $3.99 a pair. most have some stripes at the top but, one brand does not. i got a pair in burgandy and a pair in black, they also carry white, navy blue and red.
i just figured i'd pass along this bit of info, most of you probably already know about this though.
cheers
