Just got some COTTON hose from Jas Townson & Son. They are shown as over the knee hose on this page:

The heavy weight are about the weight of medium wool hose. The regular are just a little heavier than men's dress socks. One size fits most actually works in this case. I wear size 14 shoes and have large muscular legs, and these are long enough and big enough to be able to fold over my garters just fine. MUCH cooler than wool, for Washington DC's humid summer. I received my order promptly and as ordered. Recommended.
