Mens 100% black cotton socks - where to buy

My needs are seemingly very simple - plain good quality socks for business use - for a reasonable price.
I find now that many shops advertise as cotton only to find after clicking through that they are `cotton rich` instead.
It seems you either have to buy top end with prices to match or else compromise on quality.
Any ideas please?

Thank you. I saw most of those and there were not many reviews/some poor reviews so was not greatly inspired. I did buy some from Amazon previously and they were rubbish.:mad:0

I buy a lot of socks from Amazon, never had a problem.
The John Lewis ones only have one bad review.

Marks and Spencer doesn't sell pure cotton socks anymore, they told me. I bought some bamboo black socks from Amazon which are comfortable.0
