    Original Hose Toppers from Big Mikey

    Some views of a beautiful pair of wool hose toppers made by Big Mikey. Note how the blue, red and green of the hose toppers match the corresponding colours in the Paisley tartan. Thanks Mikey, these are superb!

    Hi Alex,

    I had Big Mikey make me a pair last year. As you say, the colours are spot on, the service was great and the price was good.

    I think they add the finishing touch to any kilting outfit.

    Regards

    Chas

    I just received my first 2 pairs of toppers from Mikey, hoping to try them out for the first time tomorrow! My own review and write up will be coming shortly.
