Which socks?

[Tiggsy]

Been after some nice socks for a while now, normally go to M&S but fancy something a bit special. Budget no issue.

Cashmere socks?

edit - that was questioning the posibility of them being looked into as an option, rather than questioning the suggestion.

The crusty whitish ones under your bed.

wk socks I think they're called.

Socks for business or casual wear?
(Yes, I separate mine so I don't have to faff in the mornings...)

Falke, as above, are good.
Gant make some nice stripey socks for casual wear, about £10/pair

Happy Socks.

PH is becoming like some weird version of 'dice man'.

I wonder - could I get the PH collective to make all my decisions for me......

Socks? Really? I mean, really?

[Justayellowbadge]

When you overheard them saying "He'd be a bit less of a tt if he managed to get some more socks" I'm afraid you misheard the important bit.

[fido]

George. Wear them a few times and then throw away.

Always bulk buy same type & colour, that way you have no problem matching them up and when the sock monster eats one or two you still have enough pairs to have nice fresh feet every day.

(what happened to the lucky pants thread btw? Did the OP get it deleted out of cringing, whiffy embarrassment?)

I'll add my 2 penneth, for durability, you can go wrong with a 6 pack of Wilson socks from Matalan, last forever and still comfy 2 years later.

For style, probably gonna have to go to next or m+s

For wking, well the, again the old Wilsons have never let me down

Need to keep your toenails very short if you're wearing cashmere socks! They don't last long otherwise and they ain't cheap....

[Justayellowbadge]

I was bought as a gift some hand woven silk evening socks at IIRC, 85 quid a pair.

Can't remember where they came from, I'll check.

[MidlandDan84]

Never have i seen so much deliberation over socks.

I dont know, last read I had of it was some 16 hours ago most folks seemed to agree his lucky pants wouldnt be lucky if he wore them 2 days in a row (without a wash).

What fool/wealthy person/wealthy fool bought those!?!

Generally speaking socks must be 100% badger silk.

Fashionistas will tell you that the current position is double tramffered toe. This is vulgar however and a single tramffer is more appropriate for the vast majority of social engagements.

Do not purchase socks where the ankle flimps have been aggressively carded. Whilst the initial fit is very comfortable the flimps can degrade.

Never purchase more than 2 colours. This allows for sock rotation but you only have to pull a maximum of 3 socks from the drawer for a guaranteed match in the morning when Gin blindness strikes.

With my crusty heels they would last 5 minutes!
