hose resources for "calves of substance"

[Joshua]

In the spirit of Mr. Grizzly's thread a while back on tweed for the gentlemen of substance, I would like to collect some links on off-the-rack hose for the tree trunkers like myself. Feel free to contibute low, high, medium cost hose and how they fit for you

Low-price casual hose/socks:
Sorry to steal Nighthawk,s thunder, he introduced this company to me and I've made at leasr 3 purchases from them...
The O'Marled and Diamond Ribbed from sockdreams.com
The O'Marled probably get more wear than any other hose I own, they are really thigh-high socks with a earthy, marled knit. At 12 bucks a pop, I can manage having to double fold the cuff so the inside pattern matches the outside. They easily fit my 20" calves. The downside is the lack of colors, and the inside knit not matching (as I said before).

The Diamond Ribbed are a fantastic warm weather hose, but the lack of a cuff relegates these to "scrunched hose" duty when I am going full casual with a boot. Colors are awesome, hose is a bit short and a little tight on my legs. 8 bucks a pair for these.

Hand-knit Aran hose from USAKilts.com
Probably some of the most handsome and warmest hose I own, these are very, very thick and they fit great on me. The being said, I live in a subtropic climate so they don't get worn often until this time of the year. They are pure wool so mine get washed in the sink and hung to dry after extended wearings. The cable-knit extends down the whole foot, so for a day spent on your feet, they may not be the best choice...these hose are 70 bucks a pop, so take good care of them and dont throw them in the washer.
