If you wear them no more than a handful of times annually, you should get your money's worth. Based on that I'd recommend them.

If you have muscular or large, calves, contact them prior to ordering. You may need the next size up to accommodate.

I used to own a pair of the acrylic tartan hose from Higgins, and I wouldn't buy another pair. Even after following the "care and feeding" instructions, they still began to unravel and grow "beards" -- a friend of mine has had the exact same experience.

The Tartan Thistle in Washington State offers hand-knit wool tartan & diced hose for around $120, and they are worth every penny.
