I dropped by Brunello Cucinelli this weekend and they had their cashmere socks on sale for $165 so I kopped a dozen.
That's my annual spending on clothes... but besides BC socks, I also buy a tie. Or even two. Seasonality, you know...

I'm torn here, Ed, I must confess. While, on the one hand it's pretty baller to kop by the dozen, it's kinda small-timer to be a sale shopper. :confused:


well, they didn't have any available at the $265 full price, what was I to do :confused:

ask them to remove the sale price. :teach:


I believe Stitchy has found the resolution to this tawdry business. Let us never speak of it again.

thanks, N. :)
i love my socks.
links to navy ribbed socks? i have not seen any i like, in person in my sock shopping.


I have seen some nice socks here:

I have not tried them myself though. I mostly use pantherella now, and I have also just bought some very warm OTC socks with alpaca here:

There are other colours and shorter lengths as well. I hope they are durable, and I will use them as boot socks when it's freezing.

Just ask yourself each time you pull out a pair of funny socks "do these look better than navy ribbed socks?". Or even better: ask me... :)
