But they’re MATCHED pairs!?! NOOO! the fashion for crazy socks is to wear UNMATCHED socks. Buy these and gift the matching half away… wearing matched socks is weenie.
@blaineg Except my BLACK Dickie socks… (but I recently switched to wearing the GRAY Dickie socks which I buy in 12-packs).
I already do not match them in the sock drawer, black, gray all mixed up individual socks. I COULD wear one Black and one GRAY, then the switch would be more complicated by switching which foot gets what color. And seeing who would notice - like that Star Trek episode.
A lot to keep track of, even in binary. Life gets complicated when you think.
Mostly I just go barefoot without socks at all.
This is a great brand of socks and that’s a really good price. I already have more socks than I could possibly need in a lifetime or I’d be over this. If you don’t have too many socks though, this is a good deal.
5 eligible sock wearers in the family that will get these as stocking stuffers. That includes me. 3 sets of 9 equals 27 pairs. 5 for them and 7 for me. Which means I now own almost 150 pairs of dress socks. And I no longer go to an office everyday so I rarely wear socks. (Clients can’t see my feet on Zoom.) Maybe my wife is right…it’s an illness.
@Kidsandliz indeed. But in a moment of insanity i bought the limit. 3 sets of 9 pairs. Then justified it to myself with a plan to give some away. Which is unlikely.
@Frcal Well you should get together with @narfcake. Between his millions of cat shirts and your zillions of socks, given a few other items between the two of you then you could likely outfit a small village.
@mehcuda67 yes. No alligators or balloons or any thing “extra fun” but still nice stripe designs and colors. I think the price is a bit lower than previous years. If like before, they come in nice boxes of 3 pair good for gifting.
@lowlypeon as they are designed in California my bet is they are made in China or Vietnam or Taiwan or Korea. Especially as they do not say where they are made. Very few hosiery mills left in the US.
@lowlypeon@rustyh3 in the 1970s-90s my mother had a small wholesale distributor business and we would regularly get shipments of socks from South Carolina. I can’t remember the mill company name.
The supply dried up, and also the demand as her local customers started moving to large corporate distributors, and most of their products were already from India, Pakistan, or China.
I’ve also been waiting for these to come back! I bought two packs last time around and love these socks. I most definitely don’t need more socks… but here we go!
I wish they would sell the sport socks again. They are the best socks I have ever owned. The sports socks have held up the most in construction trade without wearing holes. I still have a few pairs that are probably going on 5-6 years. I do have about 20-30 pairs that I rotate through, but even with all of the washing they do not wear out in the elasticity or wear out quickly like the Hanes or Nike sport socks.
Nice timing, Meh. I was just saying last night that I’ve worn through most of my whacko socks and need to replace them. Didn’t expect it would be the same brand 8 years later.
Hopefully these actually come. Last two times I ordered these the order was cancelled for some reason, which was annoying because I wear them almost every day, and they’re starting to get a bit thin.
They’ve lasted pretty well considering how much I use them, but some of them are 5 years old and getting holes now. At $12/pair from the official website stocking up would be like $360 instead of $60, which is just not in my budget.
Dang Meh, you’re on a roll lately. This is my third Meh order this week. Fourth for the month! (those Martha Stewart Skull candles are awesome btw. Well worth the price)
@blaineg@Kyeh@macphoenix Yes, it is, but you never saw the directors cut. In that version the butler Stevens finds out he inherited his Uncles sock empire, marries, and lives happy sock-clad ever after.

Should I get the thin stripes or thick stripes to match?
/showme 9 pairs of socks, unsimply stitched
With today’s order I will now own 60 pairs of Simply Unstitched socks from Meh. Since I no longer wear a suit everyday, and I only go to the office a couple of times a week, and my sock drawers - yes, plural - are overflowing, I do not know why I keep buying them. I might have a problem. “Hi, my name is Trapuh and I am a Meh-a-holic.”
I’ve always just filled my sock drawer with identical black socks so i can get dressed in the dark. But i guess i don’t actually care if the colors match as long as they’re the same fit. tempting to buy a couple of packs and start fresh…

Socks to match your dress?

@JohnQ118 I wore unmatched socks as a kid. AHEAD OF THE TIMES AGAIN!
/showme 10 year old boy standing next to gumball machine with mismatched socks and untied shoe laces and a suspicious look.
@mediocrebot Eerily close enough.
@cfg83 @JohnQ118 Nine different pairs of matched socks leaves a lot of room for mismatching.
I’m wearing two different colors right now, from the last time I ordered these. And this time, there’s an even wider range of mismatches. Woo!
@JohnQ118 Psst! Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve heard that ANY socks can be mismatched.
@blaineg Except my BLACK Dickie socks… (but I recently switched to wearing the GRAY Dickie socks which I buy in 12-packs).

I’ve bought this brand here in the past. I like them.

I’ve been waiting for more of these!

Whimsy? With no dogs or spiders or pumpkins or musical instruments thrown in the mix?
Nice socks, yes. (Favorite brand, in fact)
Whimsical, hardly.
@mehcuda67 yes. No alligators or balloons or any thing “extra fun” but still nice stripe designs and colors. I think the price is a bit lower than previous years. If like before, they come in nice boxes of 3 pair good for gifting.
How thin/thick are thin & thick?
@agnesnutter it’s the design that is thick or thin. Same sock either way.
@agnesnutter it’s the stripes that are thick or thin, not the fabric.
Are these still manufactured in China?
@lowlypeon as they are designed in California my bet is they are made in China or Vietnam or Taiwan or Korea. Especially as they do not say where they are made. Very few hosiery mills left in the US.
@lowlypeon @rustyh3 So, are you saying that all the North American Hosiers have taken off?
@lowlypeon @rustyh3 in the 1970s-90s my mother had a small wholesale distributor business and we would regularly get shipments of socks from South Carolina. I can’t remember the mill company name.
The supply dried up, and also the demand as her local customers started moving to large corporate distributors, and most of their products were already from India, Pakistan, or China.
@lowlypeon @macromeh @rustyh3 Eh?
Eh!

My wife loves these socks! They hold up pretty good too. Of course it’s the day after I canceled my sub
@thebigtverberg So give the socks to your wife instead of your sub.
@thebigtverberg Well unless she has large feet they are men’s sizes, not women’s so maybe she won’t sock you in the face if you don’t buy any.
I’ve also been waiting for these to come back! I bought two packs last time around and love these socks. I most definitely don’t need more socks… but here we go!

Second, is Meh aware that it’s too late in the season to be buying cotton socks?
