I'm having a dickens of a time finding very LIGHT gray dress sock (Spring/summer weight). Lots of mid-grays but nothing a similar tone of, say, cream or light beige. I've been through most every brand I can think of including all the usual SF recommendations I can recall (Including Will's). The lighest are all mid-gray. I do have a winter wool Marcoliani houndstooth that is close but nothing for summer. Looking for solids or simple patterns (herringbone, check, houndstooth etc). If you know of something and have a link- please clue me in

Viccel? They tend to be lighter than illustrated.

My favorite light gray socks are Marcoliani cotton birdseye I got from Howard Yount. Great with summer khaki and grays. I don't think they're in stock right now though.

They have nothing this light, I'm afraid.

Marco's are my fav as well. And you're right, P- they're not in stock this season- I looked through the catalog with my tailor.

I actually have those for wearing with flannels. Too dark but thanks. I went through all the offerings at Kabbaz as well.
