      Dayum. Love the Navajo but £25 seems a bit much for a pair of socks 😞

      As I said before, price be damned, nothing is too much to achieve perfection

          Showed these to Cassie just after I posted, her response was pretty much what I posted. God I love that woman.

              Blue dockers socks…super comfy...inexpensive, and they match in color to blue denim

              Fucking drives me nuts when peoples socks don't match with their pants

              This is a sartorial rule that I've never heard. I don't like matching socks to pants, without that contrast it looks goofy to me. Socks should coordinate with pants, but IMO shouldn't match.

              Think it, be it.

                She and I have been through enough together that I think we keep a pretty decent perspective on what's important. Even as tight as our budget can be (gets pretty tight with only one of us pulling a regular check) nothing is completely out of reach if the investment is worth it. We just plan really well and stick to it, almost no such thing as a impulse buy around here. It can be hard, but such patience ensures that there's no regret to our purchases either. We try to balance everything else in a similar manner and it really pays in spades when it comes to just being satisfied no matter the conditions. Love can be good for that when people aren't selfish.

                  IMO, the sock should compliment your top/shirt. It allows the break up of the color palette, without looking like your trying too hard

                      Curently kickin it in some Cabots I picked up for $6 at TJ Maxx. You know what they have in common with those $25 Chup? I like them, period. I care less if it's a $400 pair of IH, or a $3 shirt from Goodwill, if I like it and think the money vs what I will get out of it are worth the investment, I'm picking it up.

                          On the flip, you match or compliment jacket with pants.

                            Beautiful socks ArnoldLayne! Somehow I have this lurking suspicion that you actually took these socks from some poor girls washing ling though. It’s not that they don’t look manly enough, but the handle… 😃

                            I've taken worse… ' Moonshine , washing line,  they nearly always  suit me fine' ...

                            Hey if I choose to spend my time as a sock lovin ho, then where better to post my bounty? But yeah 25 quid is mad for a pair of socks.

                            jdl1279 : I hear you, but if you can convince the missus to buy a pair of the navajo's , it'll make you happier than a few pints down the pub, and last a hell of a lot longer. And if one of you is earning, you know, a bit of a treat now and then if you can manage it, is nearly always a good thing.

                            As suggested above go for a navajo pair in black, grey, dark blue etc, the colour works best in person than the others imo, and there must be stockists in the US too. If not I know that there are many forum members willing to proxy at cost (me included of course).

                              Oh no brother, I have a few others in mind. My splurge budget hits reset about this time of year. I am making a list since we have managed not to need anything major this year and the socks and IH are what have cemented their spots.

                                Each to their own.  Most people would think that spending >USD100 for a pair of jeans is mad.  I would not spend threepence on a golf bat, but I'd happily spend USD1,000 on a fishing rod….

                                    Threepence by convention is a pre-decimalisation term and refers to 3 old P.  There were 240 old pence to the £, so at todays exchange rate $1,000 is the equivalent of 146,400 old pence (roughly 😉 ;D)

                                      And I couldn't bring myself to part with that for a rod, but others might not wrap that kind of money up in a single guitar. I think this is a solid point, and even a bit funny that the comparisons need to be made here. We all are likely to have a expensive fetish outside of clothing, and despite having this one in common, many would look across the table scratching their heads at others.

                                        I wear my socks with boots so there's no vis… All I want is quality, something that lasts... The TFA socks deteriorated much too quickly to justify the price. So let's see how these 2.9 € Uniqlo socks hold up ey  😉
