I do hand wash the hose in lukewarm water and let them air dry.
Even though diced hose aren't the best choice for a memorial service, most people wouldn't know that and I am glad we had them on hand so he could wear his kilt. The service was aboard a rented yacht and we scattered the ashes at sea. Mark stood on the front of the ship as we headed out of the harbor and a number of people were curious about his kilt and took pictures from their boats. Mark is definitely has no qualms about wearing his kilt. It makes me really happy I made it for him.

Great choice - you wont be disappointed!

Hey, I'm SOLD on those Lewis kilt hose from Scottish Tartans Museum. Own a couple dozen pairs in various colors. Feel great, withstand the rigors of the high desert, and haven't had a ding yet over the years. Cost a bit more - but the value is there. For sure include them on your selection list.
