New hose preview

[davidlpope]

I have a pair of Sandringham hose and although they are of excellent quality I feel it fair to warn potential buyers that the cuff is very large. I can't wear them and will be selling mine. They would be fantastic for gents with large calfs however. Super in fact.

Can you explain a bit more? Are the cuffs too "tall" or too large in circumference (i.e. too loose?)

Are the bottoms of the hose the same as the Lewis, but with a different sewn-on cuff?

A bit of both actually, but mostly longer. Another caveat is that I'm pretty small to begin with so for me the difference is amplified.

... They are the Sandringham hose by the House of Cheviot.

They are available in four colors: goldcrest, aubergine, heathland marl, and rustic marl.

Those colours aren't up on Cheviot's website yet either: http://www.houseofcheviot.com/our-ca...s/sandringham/

When I click on that link, I see both the hose and the colors (tiny swatches in the lower right hand corner). But, again, I have heard that the Goldcrest has been, or is being, discontinued.

What I really want to know is how long are the garters that come with them! It doesn't say, dammit.

OOhhh. I'm wondering what ruddy shade the Rustic marl is, that is, presumably it's a red-ish colour. I really like the fact that they have a similar appearance to the Cable knit hose one can purchase from Scottish Lion Imports-there you have to buy 3pairs at a shot at 95$ each! I dont want triplicate of the same thing, at least not from them. Once these come on the STM site, if the colour suits, you've got sales Mr. Newsome.

For those wondering about colors, you can see all four pictured here:

I will attempt to clarify color availability from House of Cheviot today. The issue at hand is that while I have received updated price & availability information on all hose from their Highland catalog for 2012, I have yet to receive 2012 information for their country catalog. The Sandringham hose are one of several "cross over" items I carry from their country catalog.

While the color offerings on items from the Highland catalog are more or less the same as last year, I understand there will be more changes in the country catalog, which is one reason why it is taking longer to update.

But I will ask about this specific item and get back with everyone. I do have in stock already a couple of pair of each color, so if any of these colors are discontinued I will be selling those off at discount. Stay tuned!

Ok, gang, you are seeing it here first. The 2012 color range for the Sandringham hose. Yes, indeed, the colors have changed, though they still remain similar.

Here is what is currently available.

The 2012 colours are still very lovely indeed, Matt!

Thanks for keep all of us updated!

Cheers,
