The best wool socks

[bl@ster]

What are the best wool socks you've found? I'd prefer them to be very thick (so they can be worn with boots) and USA made. Any recommendations?

Smartwool are awesome. Soft, maintain shape well and hold up for a long time.
So far beyond the old ragwool **** like fox river etc.

Another smartwool vote for what your asking.

Don't forget Wigwam and Darn Tough.

Darn Tough over Smartwool, imho.

wigwam has some nice socks and also norwegian long socks. check out woodlands ... they have some great stuff. the 45 rpm store in nyc have some nice stuff too but its pricey ($100+). http://www.woodlandsshop.com/

Can anyone comment on the quality of Muji socks?

Whatever, those Woodlands Supply Co. socks look pretty good, but are they worth $12 a pair?

Craftsman. (yes, the tool company).

Haven't found a warmer or thicker sock yet.

Those Muji socks are not bad, but they are made of light cotton. Great summer socks though. The ones I have were made in Japan.
Kapital makes the best socks for me.

For price/quality ratio, Smartwool and Goldtoe wool socks are the best.

Agreed. Having socks from both, DT's stuff is a lot more durable.

Kapital and 45rpm. Not USA made. Or cheap. Yeah, nevermind.

I carry some of the best socks around. Fox River Mills Wigwam and Two Feet Ahead all available online.

Assort colors and weights.

The Raggler Wool in Navy or Loden twill are my favorite
