Kilt Hose Alternatives

[SergeantBort]

That is actually why I made the suggestion that I did. WB Socks' kilt hose look traditional, but are light enough to be worn in most situations. They're a little too warm to wear on a regular basis in Colorado in the summer, but they make perfect summer evening wear here.

I hadn't found them yet, but I appreciate the link. If I had the money to spend on a bunch of Kilt Hose, I would, but having money constraints, I just can't justify spending $10 on a pair of 'socks'... So I am looking at cheaper alternatives that get the job done, until I can afford nice kilt hose with a multitude of weights and colors.

The soccer socks I think are going to be my main choice for now, they run about $4 a pair, and come in all the colors I could want to match any of my sports teams kilts that I am making.

That will fit nicely with the look of your kilt!

In the spring, be alert for sales on ski socks, tall hiking socks, and such.

If you know someone who kints and can knit you a pair of socks that resemble Kilt Hose; the only cost you would have is the yarn, if they would do the labor free.

That's a great idea, my girlfriend is starting to learn how to knit, so I may be able to get her to make me some, if she get's any good.

W. Brewin & co. Kilt hose for under 10 bucks, take advantage of their bulk sale and get a different colour for the day of the week. Pleanty warm enough in the mild Canadian winters, double them up for colder. Even a contemperary kilt can use more traditional hose.

I defiantly will be picking up some kilt hose, once I get a solid income. But after becoming disabled in March, and not receiving any money since April, other then student loans, $10 is out of my budget, but I did order a few pairs of soccer socks at $4 a pair, that will be close to all the colors I am making for my contemporary Kilts.

Good luck to you on that My fiancée has been knitting for years, but she still isn't up to the challenge of knitting me some kilt socks! Of course, she might just be using the "complexity" as an excuse not to feed my kilting habit. She might see herself as an enabler. Like she can really complain; she's addicted to knitting wooly things, I'm just giving her an outlet! At least that's my argument...
