    Any Advice?

    I have, among other things, large legs. Does anyone know where I can find extra wide kilt socks for the plus sized crowd?

    We have a couple of options right now for the large calf man. The "fully fashioned" version of our Lewis hose are really nice. Normally these are going to be custom made, and so take several weeks to delivery. However, I do have a few made up for stock now (I think ecru, black, and maybe lovat green, but I'm going by memory right now). Call up to see what we might have in stock in your size. But by and larger these will be custom ordered.

    You'll see that right now, while the stock lasts, we have some of our standard hose in large calf sizes. These are for sale at the same cost as the standard hose. We only have black, navy, and bottle green in large (11-13) left.

    And lastly, we also offer a hand-knit option, for a complete custom fit hose. Obviously this is not a stock item, so again, allow extra time for delivery.

    Aye,
    Matt

    Matt has given you some good options.

    I would say that if you are going to wear your kilt formally, or even dressed up, get yourself at least one pair of custom knitted hose. While the others will work, the custom knitted ones will just look better.
