    OK, turns out they were a limited run of these...Mens extra-heavy PhD Outdoor Over-the-calf socks.

    No "neutral" listed here, but I see they're available in black and "graphite". I might attempt to find some $$ in January's budget to get a pair of the "graphite" ones.

    That is a great find, but sadly they do not ship outside of the US.

    Stop drying them in the dryer.
    Wool socks should be layer out flat to dry.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

    I realize I am contributing to a thread on the eve of dying (page 2); however I have an important point to make upon wool socks, not considered traditional kilt wear.

    I have used Smartwool for several years now and have destroyed all of the more then 20 pairs I have owned.
    How can I recommend them, well I can't. The company started in Colorado and seemingly customer service has relayed that they only should last about a year.
    But for 10 bucks or more a year, that's a hefty price for footed blankets.

    I'd like to add my full recommendation to Teko, Darn Tough, and RedHead wool socks because all three companies have a lifetime guarantee for most of their socks.
    Specifically RedHead (which I use) last about 3 years, and then all you have to do is take them to a Bass Pro (or send in) for a replacement. Their price is also 9.99. And I personally find them both toasty and comfortable.
    Teko and Darn Tough I didn't like as much personally, but they have more styles and the same lifetime guarantee.
    I'm pretty sure it means, as long as they don't go out of business, socks for the rest of my life
