Sorry to bump an old topic, but my shoemaker has started to stock http://www.pantherella.co.uk/
Among the greatest socks I've ever seen. And alwayschanging design too

Old threads are there waiting to be given a small kick up the arse - well done…...

Thanks for that Lando.  Now I had to go see that they had some WM socks that I had to get with money I don't have

J, hahaha, yeah those were a little out of my price range. I would love to see some macro shots for texture reference whenever they come.

Wool, always wool. Unless I'm going suit-up at work, then my proper shoes all demand thinner socks. But the norwegian army green wool socks are perfect for spring, summer and fall. The white, thicker ones, for winter.

You can still get wool dress socks lucifer.

True that, I just never got around to it, have like 50 pairs of useless polyester low-socks that I use Luckily I'm a denim + alden guy 80-85% of the time at work. so I get to use wool

How do $58 socks feel? They look incredible!

[Jestre]

They feel pretty great . . . nice and soft.  They're a lot thinner than I expected, which is actually nice.  They have a lot of stretch in them so I'm pretty sure they're good up to about a size 11-12.  Even though they are a bit on the thin side they can be surprisingly warm.  So overall, yes, they're incredible.

Tilley socks are where my feet wanna be.. Just right with the wool… They grip snug at your instep. And they are tough as nails..

[hectic]

Can anyone point me at those tabi(?) socks that have a separate toe (but big enough for a sasquatch foot?).

Ta much

pardon my ignorance but what make these socks worth their price? all i can find on these is they're a blend and from the pic its over locked toe not linked. they look great but i am obviously missing something….

[madmonday]

isn't "worth" all subjective? not a fair question from my lowly perch.  it's just like folks saying, oh you don't like this or that so you are a hater.  no not a hater, just don't like the item & willing to say it 

in any event that is my sort of sock rant.  oh jestre, them socks are bright as all heck.  when they peck out from under your jeans folks must be blown away & ask if you have a full santa suit under there.

[Jestre]

Little do they know that I actually do wear a full santa suit year-round under my clothing.
