New Kilt - question about kilt hose for large calves

[Joerg_Mosthaf]

Ah you're Schwäbisch!

Well, Badisch would be more correct ;) But Schwäbisch will do - as long as nobody takes me for a Bayer ;)

My wife's sister has lived in a small village near Stuttgart for over 30 years. We've over there every couple of years to visit and party hearty! Ever heard of the band Hiss? Fun band! We know Stefan.

Yepp Stuttgart is in the middle of Schwaben Hmm, Hiss, rings a bell but nothing I have on hand.

Anyway, kilt hose... Gaelic Themes and Lochcarron kilt hose fit my 18" calves just fine. You should be able to find some on the Irish eBay: shop.ebay.ie. If not, Google "Lochcarron kilt hose" and you should find somewhere to buy from on your side of the pond.
Good luck.

Thanks, I will have a look for that.

My calves are 17" inches or so around. I have a pair of these:

They fit great and look good and have some stretch to them. Pretty affordable so you could buy a couple of pairs and not break the bank. Though at some point, definitely save up for a really nice pair of hose, there is no comparison.
