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.
