Does such a thing exist anymore?

I've tried all of the top brands and have come away unimpressed to some degree with each.

Pantherella - too thin and even the otc don't stay up. Pattens are pretty lame.

Nagrani - not a huge fan of their patterns, but if you go with the more conservative stuff not bad. Quality issues.

Corgi - wearing a pair of cashmere socks right now with a retail price above $100. Have worn them less than 5 times and both socks have big holes. Enough said.

Marcoliani - by far the best of the four. Great patterns and they are the only socks that actually stay up. Quality is decent, but for the price should be better.

who do I try next?

Bresciani - most of mine are bresciani and marcoliani - they are pretty much the only ones I buy. All OTC.
