    Good review, Matt. Nice looking hose, they complete the look.

Opportunities like these don't come up every day, but if you keep your eyes open, over time you can acquire quite a nice collection.
    Thanks for the review. But even more important is that you traded for them. I've done the same and have to say I, too, am most pleased with the arrangements. I've gotten massages and dirks, etc. All for a little bartering.

    Matt,
    Those hose are fabulous! I am especially taken by the argyll hose. I see no problem with the colours at all.

    Cheers,
    Sandford

    Thanks, Sandford. And don't get me wrong. I'm not dissatisfied with the colors of the Argyle at all! It is only comparing them with the diced hose, I'd say they don't match the tartan colors quite as exactly. But they do look grand!

    Really great stuff, the review and the hose, too. The argyles might not be as perfect a color match as the diced hose are, but I didn't notice that in the photograph... I think they look great!

    Ditto. I even like the fact that the tones are slightly different.

    Thanks for the reviews I liked the look of the SHO hose and have been considering them for a while, so it's good to read such an in-depth and positive review.

    Thanks, Matt. Like others, I've been looking at their site for a while now and your review is most helpful. Oh, and I'd be wearing those diced hose a ton!
