Piper's Hose

[Bryan]

I think that white socks with a black PC, waistcoat, & bow tie and white tux shirt gives an overall effect rather suggestive of a penguin.

LOL. As much as I like colored hose, I do like the white or cream myself as I think it brings out the color of the flashes better, but that's just me.

A lot of places can supply these hose, sometimes called "popcorn top hose" sometimes called "pipers hose." They can be had in colors other than plain white. I have two pair, one in bottle green and one in lovat green.

The Museum gift shop used to carry them but we don't any longer. If anyone is interested we still have ONE pair left in lovat green for $35. I can't recall the size right now but I can check in the shop when I get in this morning.

By the way, that pair I have on hand is a small. They will fit anyone with a shoes size of US 8 or smaller.

I've got a pair of lovat green pipers hose. I really like the way they look and the fact that the tops are thick enough that you can't see flashes beneath them (an issue that annoys me about some thinner hose). Because they are colored they don't look like they should only be worn by pipers. I can't say I like the idea of wearing white pipers' hose, though.

i wear white pipers hose, pushed down in a causal fashion....i like how beefy they are. Since I am a bigger person, i think the bigger hose rolls add visual weight to my lower leg and balances the way I look out.
Makes me feel a little less like a barrel on toothpicks.

Any ideas where I can get a pair of these for giant calves?
