I wear socks from Ben Silver .....
Cotton OTC in summer and merino OTC in winter. They come in a variety of colors and in sizes. They are made in Italy, but Silver doesn't teel you the Italian brand. They run around $32 a pair, which is about the usual retail price for fine men's hosiery. I have looked at dozens of web sites and haven't found anything better. Some will say Pantherella, but these do not come in all the colors of Silver's. Gold Toe is fine for some, but I like to splurge on socks and am not interested in saving money. For sport socks, the best I've found is Nagrani. They are woven patterns, unusual, and machine washable. They are available in cotton or wool. Cotton is about $35 per pair, merino is $39 per pair. They have their own website.
I might add that all the above socks are machine washable. Wash in cold water with socks turned inside out. Hang dry, never put in dryer.
