I want to wear my kilts hiking this winter, and need to know where I can find some good, tough, washable, thick socks that are kilt height. Can ya'all help a brother out?
If you want handmade try http://www.almostunwearoutable.com/eveyone who has a pair raves about them.
Now...are you planning to wear these up or do you want socks for scroonchin'? Best AA
Try Hamilton Dry Goods. They look great, fit large calves without falling down and at $8 you can't argue about the price.
I'm planning on wearing them up for the cold. I have plenty of regular crew length hiking socks for pushing down when it's warmer. I also don't have small calves...
I just got into some of my winter gear for this ski season and discovered my old X-Country ski socks from high School. They are nice wool over the knee length and don't show any signs of wear from 4 years and several thousand miles of skiing. These are from the days of knee length uniforms so I'm not sure if they are even made anymore. I think I'll go look at REI to see. O'Neille
I think standard wool(blend) kilthose are great for cold weather.They don't cost a fortune and when they get damaged it's no drama
Has anyone tried Stillwaters socks? Are they thin or thick?
I have large calves: 18" on the right, 17½" on the left. I wear these in the 9-13 size with no trouble at all. I have to fold the tops down before I put them on, though. There's a thread around the top that won't go around the calves.
