Over-the-Knee Knicker Socks
We searched and we searched, and we couldn't find satisfactory socks to wear with our Classic Wool or Hemp City knickers, so we had some made to our own specifications. These comfortable, durable wool-blend socks come over the knee to assure complete coverage for cold weather or fussy relatives; we also wear them in summer to keep the whole lower leg safe from sunburn. You can even (if you're under six feet tall) use them as knee-warmers with racing tights. Or fold the top of the cuff down to make them kilt socks!
Dark Charcoal and Olive available in S/M and L/XL. S/M fits US men's sizes 5 to 9; L/XL fits 9 to 13. They will actually go a little larger comfortably. All socks now in stock!
Only $28.50
Made by the Sock Guy of San Diego, who specializes in cycling socks, to our exacting requirements. (Please note:The Sock Guy logo is on the toe of the sock, and the card they come with is confusing: these are 37.5% merino wool, 37.5% polypropylene, 15% nylon, and 10% Spandex.)
