...okay, I bought three more of these online this morning and realized that I should share this.

Bridgedale Blaxnit over the knee socks at Sierra Trading Post: $4.95 US a copy with a $6.00 shipping charge. Of particular interest to me were the Olive and Olive Heather colors...the Olive is almost a charcoal and really doesn't (to my eye) have very much green in it and the Olive Heather is a middle-grey which, again, seems more neutral than green. They have a cinnamon red and a yellow available as of this writing and an "ecru" available under another heading. Go to their website and search by brand name for Bridgedale.

Not to plug a business unnecessarily...I hope that my relaying this info doesn't violate any of Xmarks covenants, but they're decently heavy socks and the price is what you'd pay for soccer socks at the sporting goods shop.
