Rugby Socks
I just bought two pairs of solid-color rugby socks, one white and one gray from
http://store.ruggers.com/
They're over-the-calf socks, go look at any rugby team and you'll see. I figure they're probably built like tanks as I'm sure that a rugby scrum is not exactly a walk in the park for a pair of socks.
Here's a mess of rugby pictures so you can check out the socks as well at the general aura of high speed collision,if you're not familiar with rugby...

They're not wool, they're a cotton blend with nylon and elastic and some are even acrylic so they're not as warm as wool. They're available in a huge range of colors, including stipes, solids, even tie-dye, but because they're not wool they'll lack the more complex colors and textures of wool socks. They're not wool kilt hose, they just ain't, so don't expect them to be what they aren't. But then, if you're not wearing a traditional wool kilt, maybe rugby socks will do ya just fine, eh? It might be a matter of taste.
In addition, they were five bucks a pair, plus shipping. For those of us on a budget, that might be noteworthy. The two pairs worked out to $18.18, using UPS ground shipping. I seriously doubt that they're at all different from solid-color soccer socks, which every sports store in the USA probably carries in a baffling array of colors. If you want outrageous stripes, roll-over contrasting color top socks and so on to wear with your kilt well, now you know how to get 'em. *cough*. 'course, I'm going to cover my eyes when I meet you if you're wearing blue and orange striped rugby socks with your Dress Gordon kilt. I might pretend I don't actually KNOW you. :P
I'll report on how they work out.
