SOCKS

But yeah 25 quid is mad for a pair of socks.
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….
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'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

Uniqlo ftw !! Best bang for buck ratio going imo.

"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.

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…...)

Darn Tough socks or nothing.

Picked up some smartwool socks, going on reviews they were meant to be really good but I find them pretty average (falling down constantly) Looking for some nice thick socks with a flat toe seam, any recommendations?

Mine never fall. Which ones did you get?
