A boring story about socks...
After a few years of wearing suits like a corporate robot and buying those damned dress socks that come in a 3 pack with 3 different patterns, most of which are ugly as sin, I found my self with a drawer full of these time sucking mismatched burdens. Every time I did laundry, it was a half-hour game of memory, and there was always one left over at the end! One day I said, screw this!, bagged them all up, looked at my pile of worthless white socks, which also had a few too many varietals, threw those in too, and dropped them off at the homeless encampment under the freeway.
So, i didn't have any socks for a couple days but, when these came, I loved them so much that I bought three more packs! (Plus they're black and match 90% of my wardrobe) They are comfortable, have a nice little compression to the feet, don't smell like hell like my dress socks did at the end of the day, and I never have to match and fold socks again! Pile them all in the drawer, and any two that I pull out in the morning always match. Hours of my life have been given back to me. And they say you can't buy time!
UPDATE: It is now the year 2023 and the world has changed as we once knew it. Almost unrecognizable since I first purchased these. But one thing hasn’t changed and it is the condition of these socks! Unlike any other sock I’ve owned for a period of time, not a single one has my big toenail poking through. While they are not perfectly black, they have survived many washes and barely faded. I hope they are still made with the same amount of loving care as these are hands down the finest socks on the market!
