    Thanks for the help guys.
    I've placed an order with Skye Highland Outfitters for what should be a beautiful pair of diced-cuffed hose for an unbeatable price!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Skye couldnt get them done in time so they refunded me.
    I'm getting a pair made by Henderson Highland Hose... they supply Scotweb but you can get them made for 20% of the price ordering from them direct.

    Be sure to send pics of the new hose. Also, I assume that you meant 20% off the usual price, not 20% of the usual. If it's indeed 20% of, then I'll be ordering a pair too!

    They are 20% of the actual hose price on Scotweb at £35... 80% off! Scotweb sell them for I believe £170 and they're made by the exact same guy. I'm not sure how much he'd charge for full tartan hose but Scotweb quoted me £170 for the solid colour leg with tartan cuff so it may well be £35 for the full tartan hose too.
    I couldnt believe it!
