OOoooooh Yeah. Once I've rolled them, I have a cuff 3 layers thick (1/4") about 4 fingers wide reaching about 3 fingers below the knee. My lower leg is about 17-1/2" round and about the same tall.

The only thing about them, and this is probably due to them being cotton, is I have to wear a thin ankle sock under them to keep them from wearing on my foot. But it only comes to the top of my shoe so it doesn't give me "cankles". And the fact that I use nylon or polyester running socks for this keeps my feet dry! So I get good looking socks, dry feet at a great price!

I've actually started to prefer the hose from Hamilton Dry Goods. The kilt hose are cotton but they are very thick ribbed and reac over the knee and give me a good thick cuff. I don't need garters to hold them up either. They make wool socks but I've not tried them.

I have a couple of his wool socks and they are a little thin but quite warm and have plenty of turn down and I have thick calves and don't need flashes to keep them up but I do wear a poly liner sock.
