The only catch to the cotton socks is you may need to wear a thin inner ankle sock to protect the sole of your foot from the fibers of the hose.

What exactly do you mean about wearing another sock? Are the fibers itchy etc?

I've been looking for either 100% cotton or 100% wool kilt hose for awhile now and havn't been able to find any before just now, the cotton kilt socks look very promising. How much of a fold over do they have? and will they fit a fairly big guy like me? (6')

Any help would be much appreciated
