Whereas I do love House of Cheviot hose, the only thing that prevents me from buying from the Bowmore range is the fact that the ribbing stops at the ankle and doesn't continue all the way down to the (reinforced) foot area like in their other range of hose and country socks. I understand that the Bowmore range is more of a country style sock, designed to be worn with wellys or a thicker daywear brogue, but with that being said, I still think they look very smart with Highland dress. Personally, I could never wear them due to the ribbing issue, which would drive my OCD mind nuts, but hey, that's just me and one of my many quirks! I am sure you will wear them well, mate!

Cheers,
