Help Me Find Awesome Bertram Cooper Socks

Where can I buy awesome dress socks online?

I am trying to find the perfect orange argyle (men's) dress socks for my June 2010 wedding. I've looked at Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, Eddie Bauer, Lands End, Macy's, Nordstrom, etc - no one has what I'm looking for. I was hoping that there would be some sort of online dress sock superstore like cheap-neckties.com is for ties. Sock Dreams is the only site I can find and they don't seem to have what I'm looking for.

I have size 14 feet, so while I do not need any sort of a special large size sock (those are always too big), I don't think I'll be able to squeeze my feet into a women's or kid's sock.

Any ideas? Since this is just one pair of socks, price isn't a huge issue - I'd be willing to spend up to $15 or $20, but I'd rather not if I don't need to.

At first I was going to recommend Oberon's argyle socks. Because you said awesome and argyle. Then you said orange. So I searched etsy for orange argyle socks. Looks like you're in luck.

I'm not 100% on what these are supposed to look like, but maybe try golf stores. I found some here - scroll over for orange/black patterns - but they do look awfully flashy, and are $26 (can be brought down to $24 using Bing cashback).

Sock It To Me has this pair, which they call orange, although it looks pretty yellow to me. In any case, try browsing their stock to see if something catches your eye.

These ones are "tomato" which is kind of orangey-red, it seems.
