OT: New socks

[Jon K]

Ever notice how great a new pair of cotton socks feel, once they go through the wash once its ruined. Ah.


The end.

[Wyn]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[winfred]

they get a little better if you turn them inside out and shake the large quanity of fuzz out after washing for the first couple washes

[Scott H]

Is it because the fabric is tweaked after a wash, or is it because they've been stretched after being on your foot for the first time?

I have some nice plaid ones from Burberry. $30 a pair -- most I ever spent on socks. They're loverly :)

Not the trademark Burberry plaid, mind you. A darker, choclatier brown with some orange in it. Silky goodness.

I like my socks after a walk through a couple fields and the woods, them burrs that dont get out remind me of my first wife...

[Scott H]

Those magically disappear on me and new ones (almost always not to my liking) appear instead.....much like my favorite work t-shirts with holes in the armpits.... :(

I get issued with so many socks that I have two drawers full of them. They're great inside the Blundstones for mowing the lawns, wife wears the winter ones inside her ski boots...Range of colours-black, black, black...

I really dont know why, when I have 5 final exams next week, I am reading a thread on a BMW message board about socks, and enjoying it. ;)

You'll have to explain what blundstones are to the yanks around here -- I'm going to guarantee that everyone stateside except me doesn't have a clue what they are :)

Blundstones...those are them calcium deposits that finally rest on the sides of each tempoal lobe of the brain causing seizures or visual anamolies?

[Traian]

Jon, I felt really bad for you mate that everyone was ignoring your original topic and rambling about. Took me a few min to realize it read 'New Socks' not 'New Shocks'... I recommend staying away from the tubed ones.
