      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….

            How many pence is $1,000? 🙂

              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  😉

                    I'm still on the hunt for the perfect socks… Agree with seul, I think I mainly want something comfortable and durable now. Tfa is wack, wish I didn't have so many

                      6am and I am talking to you about socks? I need another hobby 😉 Seriously, in that case I would likely just buy decent boot socks(hello Wigwam)

                            "testing" these suckers today…first impression: really nice, holding up pretty well and feeling comfy from the start!

                            I got those in the opposite colourway - blue with orange stripes - and wish i had those ones too. They're standing up really well so far. On the £25 argument, I got a pair of Superior Labour socks for that much. Worn them a lot less than the Anonymous-Ism pair and they've developed holes already. I have no problem paying for quality goods, but I expect the quality to match the price.

                              wigwam socks have served me well.  Made in the US and under $15 a pair for even their 'fancier' cool wool ones.

                                      Yes. Pretty much the only socks i wear.  Even in uniform…

                                        Just bought a stack of Icebreaker socks that were on sale.  The merino blend is fantastic to wear and surprisingly durable too.

                                          There is a lady out of the UK that makes some pretty cool Merino wool socks….

                                          I guess she makes them on the really old sock machines that are hand cranked.
                                          Sort of like these:

                                          These things almost look like primitive loop wheel machines…

                                          Here is her shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/footfetishsocks?section_id=14739217&page=1 (Don’t mind the name…...)
