We searched and we searched, and we couldn't find satisfactory socks to wear with our Classic Wool or Hemp City knickers, so we had some made to our own specifications. These comfortable, durable wool-blend socks come over the knee (if you're under six feet tall) to assure complete coverage for cold weather or fussy relatives; we also wear them in summer to keep the whole lower leg safe from sunburn. You can even (again, if you're under six feet tall) use them as knee-warmers with racing tights. Or fold the top of the cuff down to make them kilt socks!

Dark Charcoal and Olive in S/M (US Men's size 5-9). They will actually go a little larger comfortably. We will order other sizes soon.
Only $28.50

Care
These socks are best hand-washed cold and dried flat, as are most woolens. Some users do machine-wash them, but we cannot guarantee they won't shrink under such treatment.

Details
The black socks are made to our specifications by the Great Canadian Sox Co. of Toronto, and are 70% merino wool, 23& nylon, and 6% Lycra.

The olive socks are by The Sock Guy of San Diego, who specializes in cycling socks, and are also to our specifications. (Please note: The Sock Guy logo is on the toe of the sock, and the card they come with is confusing: these are 37.5% merino wool, 37.5% polypropylene, 15% nylon, and 10% Spandex.)

Both the Canadian and San Diegan socks come with the manufacturers' branded labels, but are in fact our custom designs, unavailable elsewhere.

All socks are somewhat thicker than dress socks but still dressy looking. In truly frigid weather you may want to wear them over tights or light longjohns.
