I have some. They're not high dollar socks, but as good as the BB socks I have. AND at $4 / pair, could you go wrong.

Harts best ( gold trumprter ) is half canvassed / half fused. I called and talked to one of their tec persons, last year. I have some, and if you wait and take a chance, you can pick up at half price. They used to be top drawer, but...

Of the above pics, the Midnight Blue tux on Daniel Craig is the one I would personally go for, but that's me. The big thing to consider though, is, what does she like/ want. That is the main thing, ask her advice. Having married the 3rd...
