			100% wool hose and sock liners
		
			
				
					What are some sources for 100% wool hose (no poly blends) at a reasonable price?  I'm looking for hose specifically for kilted hiking, and it's important that they be 100% wool yet inexpensive (i.e. no high-dollar custom stuff).
 I see that WPG has reproduction khaki hose that are supposedly 100% wool, and reasonably priced at $16 per pair.  These would probably suit my needs perfectly, but I wanted to check with the rabble and see what else is out there.  WPG has kinda disappointed me on their shipping speed (I've been waiting over a month for them to ship a pair of boots).  So I'm looking for other options.
 
 Also, for those of you who are serious hikers or outdoorsmen, I was wondering if you had any input on wearing modern "sock liners" under wool hose.  They are supposed to be very good at wicking moisture away from the feet and keeping them cool, but I'm having a hard time believing it, since all the sock liners I see are made from pure poly/rayon/elastic fibers.  In the past when I've worn socks made of that stuff, all it does is keep my feet wet and hot, like wearing a plastic bag.  I admittedly have zero experience with sock liners, so I'm looking for comments on whether you find them useful when worn under wool socks.
