...not that much of a break on the $ but they are wool and wool socks last a long time when you take care of them properly...

I lucked out a while back and picked up many pair of Bridgedale Blaxnit over the knee socks from Sierra Trading Post when they sold the seconds for like $6 a pair...at least one other Xsmarkser ordered some and wasn't pleased with them but I guess I lucked out and got the good ones because they're holding up just fine. Other than that, there's that "sock dreams" place online...I think that they have wool...mostly aimed at the ladies market but socks are socks. Also search the on-lines that supply Ren Faire stuff and see if they might have any tall socks.

Best
