I tried the Cabelas waders last winter and liked them a lot for warmth (not so much for looks). I found them to be as warm as wool and very easy to launder.

I just got these socks from WPG recently. Their repro kilt hose in khaki, the repro navy boot socks and the dark green almost brown ones are actual Indian Army non-issued kilt socks. All three are wool. The sub socks and the Indian Army socks are the thickest and warmest/heaviest. I wore the off white sub socks this past weekend with my WPG MacKenzie ("The Beast") to a night football game and was extremely warm all around. Just another option.

Sorry
I forgot to add that they are all priced at $15.00 each. Not bad for wool.

Thanks to all of you that replied. I would have never thought of going to cabelas, I ended up finding exactly what I needed there.

I'm always on the lookout for soccer sox in sporting goods stores as mentioned above. Colors vary with soccer leagues and high school team colors in an area. Very best time to get a bargain is just after soccer season ends for the year, often find them on sale. Have paid $5 for a pair of black soccer sox at my local sporting goods store and they were happy to get rid of them. Its become a habit to wander over to the soccer sox section whenever I'm in a sporting goods store, just to check. Some of the big box sporting goods stores use them for a loss leader too.

While they work in winter they're also a great "pushed down" look for summer.

Good work, Minnow! Along Ron's train of thought, watch for ski socks to be marked down in the spring.

Meijer has a sale on hunting socks right now for 30% off.

JUst a thought but couldn't you simply wear two pair of standard hose?

Wha? That's un-American to just go with a simple answer. By going out and buying soccer socks, we can find a use for them. Really, like anyone plays soccer in this country. We all know that they only hope to sell them to kilted people! Two pair of hose.. Blasphemy! Too simple an answer!

Though back to reality...

Kilt + Cowboy Boots? I am thinking that would be screwy, but then again, I don't know anybody that has both to determine just how bad that would be.
