      I haven't been too impressed with the Chups I have owned so far.  I'm not sure if it's the particular blend that I got or what but they are falling apart to put it simply.  They don't hold up to the washing machine (possibly due in part to the aggressive american machines), hard to put on over the heel as others have mentioned, holes are forming in the heels, threads are sticking out and coming apart everywhere,  they don't hold their shape at the top and get loose after minutes of putting them on and I get the dreaded socks sliding down to the ankle thing going on.  I don't know, I might try another pair as maybe it's just the particular blend that I got.

      I prefer the Thunders Love over the Chups but the Chups do have the best designs IMO.

        I don't have any issues (yet) with Chup socks but can confirm that Anonymous Ism socks are not too great.
        I have a number of socks already had to throw away because of holes around the toes and heels.
        Does anyone have any experience with Red Wing socks?

          I had seen a pair of Anonymousism I liked the look of but on hearing all the bad reports I think I'll give them a miss! Not cheap either so you'd want them to last.

          The Red Wing socks look good but not tried them.

            Ive had three pairs of Chups. Lovely things, but didn’t last long.

            I’ve a pair of ues that I love, but my IH engineers are my favourites and as tough as you’d expect.

              I tend to baby my Chups so I can't speak to how hard wearing they are.  A really good sock that I have put through it's paces for years with zero holes yet developed are Wigwam hiking socks.  Fairly warm and very hard wearing.

                Chups are beautiful - but tbh i did expect a thicker sock when i first got them. They hold up but i mostly wear sneakers and my 10 for 5 no-name cotton socks from some supermarket last years and years and years too…. For the price tag i prefer the Red Wing socks, seem to be a bit more durable. Also got me a pair of stance outdoor socks, they feel solid, fit great and comfy and look pretty nice.

                When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn’t like me can kiss my ass.

                    I'm curious how the Stance socks will hold up over time. They had a few in the past that I really wanted to buy – Tommy Guerrero, Lance Mountain, A Tribe Called Quest, etc., but I read somewhere that some of their socks are paper thin.

                      Can't speak for all their socks, but I have one pair, and they're pretty thick.  They've held up reasonably well, but I'm not especially hard on socks, so that's not much of a statement.

                        @illo59 Slayer merchandise should be off-kilter. I love them.

                          @gaseousclay they have many different models, some are thin, some are thicker. The have running and hiking socks as well. I buy them wen they are on sale and have different kinds. They all hold up good and fit well and comfy. I wouldn't wear the thinner ones with boots.

                          @neph93 Damn right haha - But the decoration is some kind of photo print what looks pretty odd and not like good quality when stretched. Can't really recommend them - but these are made for fun so i guess it's acceptable and they're comfy though.

                            I understand your point but the big picture is, you have Slayer socks  😎

                                So what's the verdict on your socks? I like my alpaca hat a lot but i've found that it's not ideal when the temps hit 0 because of the way it's knit. It's plenty warm though in 20-30 degree temps

                                  First time wearing them (they got lost in a moving box for a while).  So far, I'd say they're decent.  They're thin, since they're dress socks, and they don't stay up, but socks never do on me unless they're over the calf length.  But they're comfortable and they don't have bulky toe seams, which is good.  I'll need to get in several more wears before I can give more than initial impressions.

                                  I have similar thoughts about the beanie as you do.  The loose knit isn't perfect for really cold temperatures, and I bet it would suck in a strong wind, but since I never experience anything below freezing, it's fine for me.  It itches more than I'd like, so I'm a bit disappointed about that.  Most people probably wouldn't notice it, but being bald means a lot more skin surface area, so I'm especially sensitive to that aspect.

                                    My beanie is itchy too. Fits a little bigger than i'd like as well but it works.

                                      Did anybody else love MUJI recycled yarn socks? They were so fucking cheap, comfy, and overall good. Only gripe was that they were a little short, but I dealt with it.

                                      Now it seems they're gone. If you too are mourning this loss, have you found an alternative?
