Colored Socks

[Iolaus]

There's some pretty frilly stuff here, but if it's socks you're looking for there's something for everyone. I don't own any of their socks, but I have heard that some guys like their over the knee socks for under their kilts.

I have some, and can definitely recomend them; the over the knee socks are very well made, I imagine the rest of their product is of similar quality.

I actually bought some of their thigh high. With my big legs, they only come up a little past my knee, allowing for a nice turnover. They're great for a casual kilt sock.

I didn't see anything there that would float my boat.

Anyway... I wouldn't want to wear anything that would make my feet point inward and my knees knock together.

Yeah, 95% of what they stock is "Frilly" stuff; you have to spend some time wading through "cutsie" to find the plain stuff, but it is do-able. The way I figure it, socks is socks. they've got socks in all lengths, from "booties" (and smaller!) all the way up to a "Great Whites" sock that is 200" and "scrunches" all the way up to the top of the thigh!!

The over-the-knee tube socks are perfect for casual wear; You can pull them up, or push them down, whichever you like. Don't let the picture fool you; on my legs a double foldover brings them down to the top of the calf, then I choose to scrunch them down.

...and they come in a ton of colors, a fact that should appeal to a crowd concerned with color-coordination:

Royal Blue
Hunter
Dark Red - OUT OF STOCK
Grey
Navy
Black
White
Tangerine
Natural
Teal
Dark Brown
Red
Lavender
Walnut
Persimmon
Charcoal

Another product that intrigued me is their "O Marled" Socks , but I'm up in the air about whether they would look like a "guy's sock" in real life; streched tight on thicker legs might make them look right, or it might not. ...and their colors are limited

Thanks for that detail Iolaus,

I was looking at those two too, but they said size large fit to size 11 shoe, which I'm assuming is a woman's size 11. I'm a guy's size 11.

What size shoe do you wear? Are you forcing it to fit? Thanks,

Ron

I wear a size 13, but with tube socks, that doesn't matter, you make the heel yourself. On the "O Marled", I don't know; I should've tossed an order in for one pair, just to check, but I was trying to ease up on the plastic at that point.

I'm going to buy some striped socks, that'll show 'em.

Oh, Wow! Anyone think I should send for a pair of the green/white socks to go with my Celtic Football Supporters Club kilt?
