I'm cracking up!!! The rabble shops for kilt hose....guess that's why kilt hose come in so many colors and patterns.
Its frightening how many pair of kilt hose I own...add ons to kilt purchases to "go with" that tartan, "finds" in vendor tents at highland games in colors that I don't have yet and might need...
Serious...I think last count I had something like 40 some pair of kilt hose...and somewhere I found black kilt hose in the $25 variety and I've even sprung for two pair of Lewis Kilt hose in black from Matt.
And, I seem to not only be a "kilt hose junkie" its exacerbated because I work long hours and like to change my kilt hose when I come home for lunch. So I buy them two pair at a time...
Then there's that traditional garter tie sub addiction...gotta have a selection of colors in them too....
A couple years back I was in Albuquerque and checked out the Pride Festival going on there. A guy had created a "kilt" by taking a lot of neckties and holding them around his waist with a belt. Very colorful.
I'm thinking I could take a lot of my old kilt hose and do the same thing...a kilt hose belted "kilt." At least it'd be warmer than the neckties.
Bottom line...its a hoot to see the assembled rabble discussing the ins and outs of kilt hose fashion...
