    To be fair to the sponsors, I checked their sites first. I found many, many kilt hose. The difference was the elaborate patterns at the top of kilt hose, whereas those pictured had a simple vertical ribbing design. I don't think they're necessarily promoting them as something else, because they are not selling them - they supply them with a new kilt.

    Most chunky knit socks I found were either too short, or like thermal hiking/explorer socks, not knitted wool-rich blend.

    I shall search some more...

    Freedom kilts. Roger that. I will be right there.

    Edit: I had a look, and they don't look all that thick - I can see the manikin through them. That is not a criticism, it is just that I am looking for long and thick socks. I can find long (normal thickness) and thick (normal height), but not both. I wear hose with brogues and other shoes, but for boots I need thick socks which also happen to be long when wearing a casual/contemporary kilt.

    Sorry, You will not find these on the Freedom Kilts website. They are custom made one pair at a time to each customer's exact specifications.

    These ought to be thick enough...

    I've gotten a couple of pair of hand knit hose from USA Kilts and can attest that they are indeed "chunky":
