Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos - Page 711

Having a little fun with this combo:

Globetrotter, I can recommend those raspberries from blacksocks.com - the best-made socks I've ever had; over the calf that never fall down.  Their only limitation is the colour choice.  The socks are a very substantial 100% cotton fil d'Ecosse.  With the colours you mentioned, you might take a look at meschaussettesrouges.com (myredsocks.fr): again they're not expensive, they're lighter than the Blacksocks ones, and better quality than Viccel.  The Mazarin range includes two dark greens, of which I'd recommend the "Christmas Tree", pic below, in cotton fil d'Ecosse.  If you like wool, the purple merino Gammarellis are super-luxurious.  Mazarin also do a burgundy version that might suit as formal but different - my pic of today, bottom.

Roger P, already expressed love for these in the Vass thread, but worth saying again: they are fantastic!

Spoo: perfection.

You can take VAT off that so it's about 16.  Not much more than Viccel, and I do find there is quite a difference.  That's around $100 for five pairs with shipping, and it's sent in the regular post so no import complications.  I hope you get more than that for your kids' education!  Anyway, if you do try some, you'll be delighted when you get the package.  You certainly feel like you're getting a special product; I won't give anything else away!

I just noticed that MCR are now a SF sponsor - link at the bottom of the page.  Maybe they should be paying me; I must have mentioned them about ten times on here!
