Silkie McDonough Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Greg, from Weepingheart Traders has stockings.
michaelsbagley Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) My personal favourites stocking are those on the below link... Which only come in "natural" (basically think brownish-beige oatmeal colour), but outside being a boring colour they are very comfortable and lighter than most wool stockings sold, and are made of more period correct fibres than the cotton ones (if one bothers to care about fibre content). They ship fairly quickly, specially if you phone your order in... Google "JAS Townsend", "Smoke and Fire Company" or "G Gedney Godwin" for other more colourful options, but expect a heavier, thicker and more warm sock. Hamilton Dry Goods - Linsey-Woolsey stocking.

Should have loaned ye my short-jacket too. but wasn't thinking. Too much college! Have fun and enjoy your experience. Bo
michaelsbagley Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 If he does, I will definately buy some from him... But I was looking for a pair back in August, and Greg was the first person I called... Unfortunately at that time he did not have any... Now this is a few months ago and things may have changed (and I really hope they have), but Greg left me with the impression he would not likely be getting them in again.

I bought some from him at Hampton. Why not pm him or post in his thread, Silas? Of the vendors from last year, he would have been the most likely to have PC socks.

Thanks, Greg

Guys, I know where to get the socks you crave, but they come from a different source, and I don't have enough time to get them in. Normally, I would agree with you about the stripe thing, but they go so well with my pirate stuff. Besides, striped socks are for real men!

The vertical stripes are appropriate. And, I have the opposite problem, I wear horizontal stripes to make me skinny pins look bigger, and, me not so tall!
