Knee-High Socks

Hi,

I was just wondering whether there is any consensus on who makes the finest knee-high socks for wearing with a suit.  I purchased some Pantherella knee-high socks today at Bergdorf Goodman for $30 a pair.  Is there one brand that is known to make the best men's socks to be worn with a suit and dress shoes?  My suits are Oxxford, Zegna, and BB, solid colors only, and I only want solid colored socks.

Thanks,

s.s.

Please, the term is 'over the calf' not knee-highs.  Girls wear knee-highs.  Personally, at the high end I'd go for Abbaz and Kelly.

I don't think there's consensus, but Pantherella's gotta be up there.

I have a related question: besides Pantherella, who makes lots of patterned OTC socks? I prefer OTC socks, but most I find are solid coloured.

I've bought some Marcolianis from Howard Yount and I love them.

Sorry about the spelling, it's Kabbaz and Kelly.  Here's their website;  http://www.customshirt1.com/Socks_M_MerinoPlain.html

Already posted this in the other socks thread, but all mine are from Viccel, Nagrani or Marcoliani (with a couple of Pantharellas thrown in for good measure).
