1. Good product, excellent customer service.

   Posted by Michael on 10th Oct 2019

   I bought two sizes knowing that they had the potential to fit small/snug; this was confirmed when test fit. My advice is to buy one size larger than you would otherwise need. Look good with my mess kit.

2. Perfect Fit

   These are a real bargain for full hose. I wear a size 9 1/2 shoe and the medium size hose fits just right.

3. perfect fit

   Just like the description. I wear a US size 13 and these worked great for my feet and calf size.

4. Size may be a problem

   Posted by Don on 22nd Aug 2018

   I purchased a pair of Large (my shoe size) and extra large since I have big calves. I was a front row Rugby Union forward in my youth and the muscled part of my calf ranges from 15-17" in girth. The XL foot actually fit my US size 11(1/2) foot and the top of the hose had diamonds that turned into losenges. The actual top of the hose, after they stretched over my calves didn't have enough left over to turn down properly.
   It's too bad really -- I had hopes that I'd get a pair of dress hose at a reasonable price and ones that might not be as touchy as the wool ones that I had and accidentally shrank.
   They'd be great for someone with smaller girth calves, so I haven't given them a really low score. They're just more or less useless for me.
   Looks like I have no choice but to save my coins for a pair of Cheviot sometime in the future. Sad really -- red diced is perfect with MacGregor since it resembles the Rob Roy tartan. (John's reply: Yes Don. I agree. These machine knit are tight for those with large calves. I'd be happy to take them back, and order you a pair of the Cheviot hand knit and apply the purchase price towards the Cheviot so send them back if you'd like a refund or an exchange).

5. Well made but calves are too tight

   Posted by Unknown on 17th May 2018

   I ordered XL white and red diced hose. I wear a 13 shoe and the foot fits well but I have a 17" calf and the hose are stretched for all they are worth. Hopefully they loosen up after some wear. Shipping was very very fast. (John's note: Yes, I agree. These are on the tight side due to the way they have to be made. Keep them away from hot water and the dryer. They loosen up a little bit).
   

6. Good parade hose for a good price

   Good parade hose for a good price. Still too early to tell how time and wear will treat them but right now, they fit the bill (and my budget) very nicely.

7. Good Hose

   Posted by Joseph Blaylock on 7th Mar 2018

   These hose are not as thick as hand knit hose, of course, but they are about the same thickness of quality single-color kilt hose, i.e., House of Cheviot. I was concerned that they might be very thin, but they are not. The quality is very good, and they are very comfortable. I will wear them for formal evening attire. My shoe size is 10, and I ordered Large; they fit perfect, and there is plenty of stretch. Others said the pattern distorted on their calves. This might be true if you have large calves, but it might help to order one size larger. I am 5'7" with average size calves and see no distortion. They look good. Also, I was wondering if the red might be a bit orange like ancient red, but it is not. It is like a modern red color.
