⎡ Wool Socks ⎦
The ascension of the high-water chino, the pin roll and the simple folds have brought attention to the ankle and to the socks. While, I wanna remain in tune with that fad, I found myself having to step up my sock game and wool socks seem to do the trick just fine; giving attention to where it is needed. Men have the essential 3 in accessories: the tie, the watch and the belt (you can go sans belt if you have a bespoke suit with a perfectly fitting pant), I’m gonna go ahead and add the socks as a fundamental.
Maura and I built a quick list of socks you can add to your set of winter accoutrements.
Taken from aurawithanm:
1. Patagonia‘s Ultra Heavyweight Mountaineering socks are soft made with felted merino wool. Is know to last a lifetime.
2. Filson socks are made with a new dimensional knitting technology. The spandex in every stitch provides a memory fit.
3. J.Crew‘s Camp sock comes from the last remaining sock mill in Vermont. This all weather sock is traditional in design and spun from classic ragg marl yarns.
4. Orvis‘s Merino Wool Ultra-Ragg take ragg clothing to a higher level. Crafted in Vermont from Australian merino wool.
5. Scott-Nichol is a traditional British manufacturer of hand made socks. All socks from Scott-Nichol come replete with a hand-linked toe making them virtually seamless.
6. Duray, is a staple amongst woolen mills in Quebec. Their Light Original Work socks are two-ply twisted knit.
COMMENTS
The Duray style 154 100% wool socks are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn at any price. The problem is they are virtually unobtainable here in the USA. I would a product of this caliber would be marketed.
