I just received the new hand knitted hose and they are beautiful. Mrs Laidlaw from Selkirk made a beautiful job of these, they fit and feel great, not a flaw in the needlework anywhere. I am a firm believer in having something hand made, it may sound strange but its a very personal thing, these hose were made for ME, they will be treasured as something very personal for years to come, infinately more so than a mass produced machine made pair. (Please pass my thanks on to Mrs Laidlaw for her wonderful craftsmanship.

These hose are absolutely superb! They are thick, warm and has a wonderful fit. Also, the design of the knitting truly gives an extra punch to them. When you receive your hose, they are equipped with a note telling you the name of the lady who has knitted them and also the town of her residence. This makes for a truly personalized item that will be cherished for years to come. Mine are in the color Woodland Haze, for your reference.
Be aware, though, when you order this item. At the point of my purchase, the order system did not allow me to enter all the necessary information regarding the hose size. I entered this in the note to the Scotweb team, and I got just what I ordered. A perfect fit!
Bought as part of a complete outfit which was delivered a full ten days before the initial expected dispatch date.

When I ordered these kilt hose I prepared myself for a wait, since they are hand made. This is my third pair and , as before, the wait was well worth it. In fact, I was pleased to see that Mrs. MacKenzie, who had knitted one of my other pair, is still alive and kicking (if you order these you will see that each pair of hose is signed by the knitter,...showing it's authenticity as a hand knitted item). Once you order & receive this item, you are not going to want to wear anything else. Sure, you may want some regular kilt hose for those unimportant, "knock-around-in my-casual-kilt" days, but these kilt hose can transform even a casual kilt into something that makes you look even better. Whenever I've worn them I've always had complimentary comments addressed to me,....by men, as well as women. The cable stitching adds something to the line of the leg. I'm not ashamed to admit it: It makes me feel good when people stare, and those brave enough to ask "WOW!! Where did you get those??? Those are really nice." That's when I go into my little "hand knitted,....SCOTSWEB,.....expensive but worth every penny" speech. Just remember to "hand wash" (I use WOOL LITE), wring the water out GENTLY & dry flat (I use a sweater dryer, but I guess you can hang dry them). If you take care of them they WILL last for years. So,....what are you waiting for???? ORDER THEM!!! You won't be sorry.

Excellent. So warm and (to my present suprise) thick. I ordered this item as part of the "hillwalker" outfit. Together with the hand-knitted sweater, they are almost too good to be worn!

Purchased as part of a full kilt outfit. As you can see for yourselves from the photo these hose are substantial ! beautifully crafted and great to wear with the brogues. get a shoe 1 size larger than normal to accommodate them. Mine are the green ones !

Not too bad. Very comfortable and VERY warm. Caught me slightly off guard with how much sock there really is.

I received my order of Tartan Flashes and handmade Aran Kilt Hose in good order. Although it seemed like the order took forever to finally arrive I was swept off my feet with the handmade hose. They are stupendous. They are obviously handmade as slight differences can be discerned, but the workmanship, the abundance of design detail, and the fit are excellant. No machine could produce this tangible link to history. There is even a handwritten card that has the name of the lady that wove the hose and the name of the town in which she lives.
I might be tempted to encase these works of art, but I shall wear them proudly at this year's Highland Festival and other such events.
Thank you.

I had to order more hose in the color of Forest Green, and again a perfect fit to my 20 inch clafs.
The measurements were sent for my exact measurement and at a great price I bought 2 x 1/2 dozen pairs of hose of Forest Green and Navy. I am the envy of my band.

As part of my Kit I needed hose for my size 20 inch calf muscles (I think the're muscles) and again after checking colors available I have now a lifetime supplier for my hose.
I bought plenty of extras while the price was so good.
Thanks again Team
