Sometimes worn two pair at a time, what was the term for variety of socks popular in the 1980s that featured "heavy non-elastic upper that may be pushed down into heavy folds around the ankles"?

Slouch socks were known to come in two types: "flat-knit" and "rib-knit. Flat knit had no elastic and so-called "two-by-two" knitting pattern. "Rib-knit" slouch socks were so-named because they had a more rounded ribbing.
