Some other socks from WM S/S '12 (pix via Bodega's tumblr)

[youngluc]

anyone thinking about doing another group buy on those socks? i might be willing to do the work on it.

[seven.homme]

i just bought 2 of em from haven. i know that WMs socks are not the best out there, but the thickness is good enough for spring or autumn .. imo

[M.O.A]

they're just so damn small

[okonomi]

Yosuke Aizawa is sock God.

P.S. people outside EU, buy the WMs from endclothing right now with free shipping and -VAT for $40 not $50.

Pringle socks from TKMAXX are top quality and great value.

When they don't have them I buy Marks and Spencer's but they don't last as well.

[mr.invincible]

i accidentally wash WM socks and it is FUCKING SMALL. chup socks > wm.

[redX]

yo don't wash wool socks with your other underwear

[lmk1995]

uniqlo socks until i die.

[Guest INDIGO QUEEN]

I alternate between

Plain black socks from Pringle or Marks and Spencer

Or

Silver leopard socks as I love leopard

Or

Grey and pink roses socks

[Goominim]

[Vampyrvargfesten]

Outlier socks were (are?) twenty bucks a pop when you buy three, and I love them. Their merino wool is outstanding, and they just put stretch where its needed: in the heel. These socks are warm, breathe well, and refuse to get smelly. Branding is on the inside of the top of the sock, and check off another Outlier product well executed.

the wool-blend fair-isle ones i handled in person were pretty nice. if you can find them on sale or something, sure why not... but you already have a number of 'fair-isle'ish socks already

also, like other japanese socks like those from white mountaineering, the anonymousism socks run rather narrow...

for girls, madewell x happy socks animal print socks (leopard & zebra) are pretty cool. pair em with creepers. booyah

[riff]

These have been my go-to fair isles for the last while

sorry if this has been answered, can any smaller-footed gentlemen out there share their experiences with any of the heattech sock line (specifically the grandrelle yarn and pique)? i'm a true 8US and i'm wondering if they'll fit snug or bunch up at the heel/ankle.

I'm 7.5 and they fit fine after a wash.

[conqueror]

will chup size L fit a US 12.5? it says they are 'ideal' for up to a 12. i tried on the M's a year or so ago and couldn't even get it half on my foot.

[photostroika]

I was thinking of copping some military issue socks because of how cheap they are, I also think the printing on them is pretty sweet

[Gaspardd]

Big fan of Henrik Vibskov's socks, Own a few pairs that've lasted me ages.

 

 

I dig these AA (lol) socks as well, mainly because they're speckled and I have a mega soft spot for speckled everything, clothing wise.

 

 

 

Bonus Bernhard Willhelm socks.

2014 sock update? whats good besides all the known contenders, WM, Chup, Uniqlo etc etc...

[kiya]

For me these Flat Head socks were game changers.  They make any shoe you wear them with more comfortable, it's like wrapping your feet in a soft fluffy blanket.

You kinda have to see and feel them in person, i don't believe i've ever seen a softer and thicker sock (that even compresses enough under pressure so your shoes don't end up being too tight).

i wear happy socks b/c i hate lyf. but in all honesty, they hold up quite well and the patterns are pretty fun.

 

-edit- also smartwool

Those look they're gonna move around way too much in your shoe, you need a snug fitting sock.

[aymerikmd]
