    Gees! I'm just size eight and a half; I usually get size nine, though.

    I think if the Stillwater hose fit him, the Lewis hose would do fine; those are the two I can directly compare. I've heard that the Gaelic Themes hose do not have a lot of stretch to them.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I'm amazed the SWK hose fit him at all. They're stretched tight -- and slightly stretched out, too -- across his calves. We really need to just get some custom hose knit for him, but maybe this next year *crosses fingers* I was thinking about getting a pair of the Gaelic Themes (I believe is the brand USA Kilts sells) for myself to test out. As far as a good purchase for him, I've been eyeing the Lewis hose from the Scottish Tartans Museum. Not the in-stock line, but the other slightly more expensive one that they make to fit bigger calves and legs.
