I used the over the knee socks, they are not real thick, but they do look good with the kilt.I am 6'3" and they do have about a 2-3 inch cuff.

Seems a bit long for those of us who are not quite 6'3"

she has a diamond rib knee sock that is a nice pair of kilt hose. but if you page thru you can find several type of hose that will work for the tall guy

The over the knee O Marled are pretty good and have plenty of bulk. I suggest any of their socks be cold water washed.

FYI- utilikilt has started to sell some of their products through their online store.

For summer use, I like these:

They are as lightweight as you can get and still have a good-quality sock. The same company also offers a heavier long cotton sock:

These have a good texture for kilt hose, but the quality isn't quite as good as the others: the pair I got had a heavy toe seam, which might be somewhat uncomfortable if your shoes are rather tight at the toe. Actually they might be good for people with wider feet -- my feet are somewhat narrow so these bunch up a bit at the toe, but it would probably be more comfortable if stretched out a bit more.

By the way, this company also has wool balmoral hats at the best price you will find anywhere:

I got one of these too, and it is very good quality.

Cheers!

Thanks, I have been looking EVERYWHERE for one of these early balmorals that's just blue with a red headband! I just ordered one, thanks again
