Hey Guys,
Where can i find real cotton socks of at least 85-90% cotton?
I am sick of these polyester or whatever material socks, as they are so bad with nasty and sometimes painful side effects. (at least with me)
So where can i find pairs of real cotton, sports socks, not formal.
And how much would a pair cost ?

try aliexpress.com, they have better quality material than the lebanese market.

Assuming they don't buy it from there.

I don't think they do, most lebanese cloth contain big amount of polyester (which is the material that makes you sweat quickly and itches). I think lebanese cloth are mainly imported from poor east asia countries... Aliexpress has ~90% cotton materials, just make sure it states so...
I got a t-shirt from a lebanese store around $35 and another one from china for like $10. The feel of the lebanese cloth is so cheap and its full of polyester versus the one from aliexpress which feels more cottony. The main problem is getting the right size tho...

Thanks for the info :)
But again the size problem you need precise mesurements, which most sellers already guide you through so i guess it's fine.

Please take notice that not all cottons are equal .. the best kind of cotton is Egyptian and one might argue that the worse is indian cotton .. and as rtp said polyester is bad for you even in small quantities .. major brands with a 35$ pair of socks usually tend to make them from high quality cotton .. if you are still thinking of getting the socks out of aliexpress lookout for reviews and bare in mind that the socks may take up to 2 months to arrive thx to airport bureaucracy

I buy them from a small shop called "Burda" in Jbeil. It is located facing "Rif Grill" restaurant. The pair costs 5000 LL and I bought half a dozen few months ago and they are good. Buy the thick striped ones.

Before Moving on to AliExpress, to wait for 1-2 months for the socks to arrive,
i wanted to know if some shops here have it (preferably in Metn/Beirut).
I already have some thick cotton socks, but they are too much as its summer now!
Im looking for some casual sports wear socks, normal thin and not thick.
Also, what about you give me some suggestions on some items to choose from aliexpress?

Did you try the cotton mall?
I believe they have many choices.

@Sab23
What is the cotton mall
And where is it located?
Sab23
@AVOlio it's a clothing shop and home linen, mainly cotton fabric but not always 100% of course.
I know two locations, not sure if there are more.
One in Abraj center Furn el Shebbak and one in Zouk Mozbeh.
Hope this helps!
