[RBW] Wool socks
A few years ago, Rivendell sold great short wool socks, made by Wilderness Wear. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/as4.htm I bought five pairs. Some were pink, some were grey, all were just wonderful socks. I wear them all year round. Alas, they are wearing out. Rivendell no longer sells them, it looks like Wilderness Wear doesn't even make them anymore, and anyway Wilderness Wear is in Australia and I'm in California. Does anyone know of another short wool sock that would be similar? Lots of wool, not too much lycra? The Wilderness Wear sock has terry loops in the inside, which makes them good for hiking too. The fashion in wool socks nowadays is to make a tight lycra cuff at the top, which I find uncomfortable. What short wool socks are working for you guys? -- -- Anne Paulson It isn't a contest.

Re: [RBW] Wool socks
In summer, I wear the SmartWool Phd Running Ultra Light Micro (phew, a long name!) http://www.smartwool.com/mens/socks-2/phd-run-ultra-light-micro.html They wick very well, and don't get stinky. Only 54% wool, though. It sounds like you may have higher standards than that. :) I bought several pair a couple years ago, and they had that nice cushioned roll along the back of the sock, which helped keep the heel from pulling down. I bought a couple more (that were the outdoor model) that lacked this cushioned roll; consequently, the heels pull down sometimes in casual shoes. Smartwool makes various lengths and various weight of wool. In the winter, I wear their medium weight hiker crew socks. 72% Wool, and noticeably warmer.

Re: [RBW] Wool socks
Bought some Dahlgren Alpaca Hiking Socks. As warm if not warmer than wool of like thickness (and more weight - Alpaca is lighter than wool) and more plush. Not all that expensive either.

Re: [RBW] Wool socks for summer
I've used black, very light weight (and, frankly, rather cheaply made) all wool dress socks from Vermont Country Store for summer riding and, apart from having to turn them down to avoid look like a Huge Fred (Look, Ma!!! There goes a Fred wearing black dress socks and garters!!!), they work very well. More recently I've been using the usual synthetic cycling specific socks simply because they are cut low, but they are no more comfortable and certainly stink faster than the wools.

Or do you have another source for great socks? I think the last 100% wool sock which was commercially made was the Wigwam Berber. Even then, I suspect and/or half-recollect it was a 95% wool, but don't have any and it's been a few years (wow...more than a few years.) . They were thick, beastly things - definitely not merino. Most manufacturers use a percentage of nylon to help them keep shape and not stretch out. Everyone _used_ to have at least one which had a high wool content. Now, even Filson uses only 64% and 53% merino on their Merino crew socks in midweight and lightweight models, respectively. Once upon a time, Filson breifly made a low cut wool sock which I bought a dozen of. Despite the unfortunate blantant logo placement choice, they have worked nicely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/318360376 The only sock I've been impressed with of late came in the form of a company called Darn Tough. They sent me a sample a while back - a thick, winterish weight - but they do list low cut socks, are made in Vermont and seem to be in the 60-70% merino range. http://www.darntough.com/ Look around to try to find a fabric weight which works for you. There are definitely differences in the density, in addition to the blend of the material. The Kangaroo socks which Riv sells are a good weight for me. I really don't find wool to be a warm fabric for moving around in, and I expect you'll find that they have less odor.
