For your sake, I'm glad I don't have a wife. And, if I had a wife, I'm glad she doesn't post here; otherwise, I'd have to ask you to step outside.

Strong stuff, hope your post is targetted towards the O.P. and not towards me because of what I just said.

I don't have a fit problem, as I don't have any kilt hose. I just knit them.

But I have read a number of posts from members who have large calves and the hose seem to strangle them, or from skinny legs who find the hose too roomy.

I promise there's no ulterior motive, except to see how divergent the measurements are. Really....pinky swear, and
everything.

You can either put your numbers into the hat, or not.

Length of lower leg from the top of your shin (the knob) to the ground?
17" from floor to top of shin
I'm just curious to see what the range is. And why there's so much difficulty finding hose that give a good fit.

I know....curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

I'll start with my dad's measurements. Calf is 16, shoe size 11 & his leg measures 17 1/2 f/ the floor to the knob of the shin.

My additions in red.
Also noteworthy, my 'activity level' is "athletic" because I'm an SRT Officer in my Prison. That requires a lot of "leg-work" and leg training/strengthening.
...and I stand 6'1" and 235 lbs.
