Hose for extra- large feet?
I've got a nephew who enjoys going kilted, but has a hard time finding hose to fit his size 15(US shoe) feet. Does anyone know of a good source?
Thanks!

Good luck here, I wear a 14 shoe so also have problems finding kilt hose. WBSocks on Ebay has some charcoal gray and maroon kilt hose that tend to run bigger. They are UK 9.5-13 so in US they tend to be 14+. They are longer too so that helps some. Ive also bought shooting socks/tweed kilt hose from The Sporting Lodge. They are reasonable price, nice wool, fit well and I like the look. Pair them with some hand made garter ties and you look pretty spiffy. Links to both below

The Sporting Lodge Wool Breeks Socks. They also have an EBay store with a little different inventory. I have the red marl/green, some browntweed/darkblue and copper tweed/brown.

Thanks! Those colors might be just the thing for a grey day...
After I posted I ran a search here, and found an old post that lead me to these:

They're supposedly equivalent to US 15-17.

The XL size in the House of Cheviot brand hose (such as Lewis hose) fit up to a size 14.5 US. Might work for a size 15.
