David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Cole Haans purchases on reco of Dutch. I've worn my Red Wing Iron Rangers every day since September. Donny Osmond sock game on point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I actually forgot that Dutch was even Asian. EDIT: Maybe he wasn't? I have no idea anymore. Nice post Dutch! Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have something like 35 pairs of socks in various colors. 99% of the time I just grab a pair off a random pile. I fold my socks and stack them in in piles of 5 and don't duplicate wearings until I've worn them all. I fold them 2 different ways so I know which is which. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've gone to all SmartWool and handmade wool socks, and have no desire to use anything else anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I desire to be on your level. For now I'll have to stick to my $4/pair department store socks. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I desire to be on your level. For now I'll have to stick to my $4/pair department store socks. I'm not sure what the handmade ones cost, but I'd imagine there is some awful hipster nut on Etsy who will make them, with or without Zelda theme, for cheaper than seems worth the effort. And SmartWool is like $15. They end up lasting so much better, it's probably effectively a similar price in the long run, too. Buy a $15-20 pair of socks and give them a go.

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I fully intend to start buying more and more expensive socks. I would just like to upgrade more visible parts of my wardrobe first and I don't want to do that until I'm nearer my target weight which at this rate will be awhile. I have a few nice thorlos socks for running but thats its. As it is though with summer approaching my sock wearing goes right down the drain until fall again. I have a bunch of no show socks that I wear. I don't go barefoot in my shoes. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I like it but I'd rather get a boot with a viberg sole if I'm getting a thick sole like that. We need to switch gears here before I spend $700 on new boots and socks. Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 When I went to India I had a cobbler make me two custom fitted pairs of shoes and the man purported to be the absolute best tailor in Kolkata, three custom suits. They were complete ****ing garbage. All of it. I have a cobbler in Champagne Ardenne. He's $300 a pair but absolutely worth it. His name is Laurence Fournier, his shop is about the size of a suburban walk in closet. Takes the measurements, 7 day wait but if you tell him that you're American, it goes up to 2 weeks. Tip him and he gets them done in 48 hours. After he told me he could get my last pair done in 2 days, I walked out and called him "Larry" just to American-Troll him. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Movers showed up two hours late. Then they have to inventory everything and are crazy meticulous about how they wrap everything and pack the truck, which is good. But it means that it's now 3:00 pm and they aren't quite 1/2 way through packing the truck yet. We were hoping to be on the road by 1:00. Ugh, So about 45 minutes ago I sent the wife and daughters up ahead since there's no use all of us sitting around waiting for the the movers to finish. At this rate I'll be lucky to get to N CA by 2:00 am. Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 How olds this guy? Is he going to die before I get to France? 70's at least, if he's even still around. Also smokes like a chimney. Makes a helluva shoe, though. Zero break in. He does weird stuff with strange, old tools and chemicals. Link to post Share on other sites
