Liz, have you tried sockdreams.com? They are not specific for reenactors or anything like that, but they have such a wide variety of stuff that they may have what you need. I buy their over the knee and thigh-high striped socks for my victorian wear. They also have things that fit larger legs. (Not affiliated with the company except as a happy customer). Teena

I called this summer, hoping to buy some of the cotton with lycra stockings that I *love* for reenacting. Which is the only reason I know that timeframe for the new owners. He said that, unfortunately, one of the very first suppliers he heard from/spoke to was the maker of the stockings...who called to tell them that they were going out of business. :-( Anyone come across a stocking that is basically heavy cotton tights that aren't attached, but will stretch and fit a short person with heavy legs, please let me know! Meanwhile, customer service there is as great as it ever has been, if not better :-) -Elisabeth (still here, but quiet) ----- Reply message ----- From: h-costume-requ...@indra.com To: <h-costume@mail.indra.com> Subject: h-costume Digest, Vol 11, Issue 259 Date: Tue, Nov 20, 2012 2:00 pm Send h-costume mailing list submissions to h-costume@mail.indra.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to h-costume-requ...@mail.indra.com You can reach the person managing the list at h-costume-ow...@mail.indra.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of h-costume digest..."
