Options besides wool hose

[mbhandy]

These are great socks Cotton Solid/Heather Socks: http://www.hamiltondrygoods.com/sock.html and give them a call or email to see what colours they have in stock. I also have some of the Wool socks:



Easy care , the wool and the Cotton Solid/Heather Socks, just throw them in the washer (Gentle Cycle) Streach and hang dry. I would like to get some of his Linsey Woolsey socks to try but not to sure how long they are, any one out there got some?

I don't much about them, but Sport Kilt has kilt hose, their regular kind (not premium), that may not have wool

It would be worth a call or email to them.

Let us know what you find out.

Don't know the SportKilt content either, know there's elastic woven in. Own a LOT of them. They're really soccer sox. They open up and show through when pulled up on my drumsticks, but I wear them pushed down with tennis shoes. They don't shrink in the washer and that's VERY nice.

I bought some two weeks ago. They're ok, but if I roll them up I tend to see my skin underneath and also my leg hair sticks out of the hose-weave...

I wear soccer socks instead of wool hose on a regular basis. I get them at Dicks Sporting Goods.

The SK hose are a pretty good value. If you have larger calves, you could detect the skin, but only from close range. If anybody is close enought to see that, they better take a look up and do a kilt check as well while they are there!

SK has some good colors too.

I bought a pair of the black soccer socks from Dick's when I got my Gordon Modern. These were good for getting started. Once I tried the Hamilton Dry Goods socks they have become my socks of choice. When I'm ready for some more I'll contact him about other colors but I'm good for now with two pair of cream (off-white). They do cost a bit more than soccer socks but unless you want to pay $30 dollars for hose to fit a large calf these are the way to go. At $8 for a sock that gives you a beefy cuff and stay up without garters you gotta love it.

The only other's that might be a better deal are W. Brewin which Ron gave a review of somewhere but they don't sound like they handle large calfs as well.
