Compared to the UK full hose, these have a sense of the home-made, which Indian products of many sorts (paper, e.g.) has and which I personally find attractive. The turn-ups of these hose are a bit loosely woven to the leg overall, easily solved if one is used to darning but not quite 100% ready out of the post. A quibble. These are overall very fine, super comfortable. If you hike and prefer a tall stocking, these are worth your consideration.

Pretty good quality but I think they were made for a giant. I got a pair of the UK ones many years ago and I figured I would try these ones because I thought they might be smaller but they're not they're huge. And these weren't even a large ones that I got. I'm going to see if shrinking them helps at all. Color and quality is good.

Great for a cool day or night. I wear them with shorts or trousers. Very well made! A+
