I purchased a pair of Acrylic Soccer socks which work fairly well for casual wear but these are still rather tight (and thin) on my 18" calves.

I see that Bear is selling Rugby socks which look like a good deal but will they provide the thickness needed for a proper cuff on a calve my size?

The only other thing I've found is Burnett's & Struth's hose for wide calves for $27.00. But I don't know what wide means. I need to email them to find out.

The other thing I've wondered about is taking some of the terry cloth sweat bands and slip them under the single roll cuff to add thickness to the look.
