nephew,
marcoliani merino wool otc- highly recommend


I highly recommend the Marcoliani brand over Pantherella for merino wool socks. Pantherella is good, but the fit, shape and durability of Marcoliani is better in my experience.

If any of you are looking for a pair of quality and comfortable socks to wear with boots or casual shoes in fall/winter I highly recommend these:

To me, you can't beat the attractive heathered colors and comfy blend of wool and alpaca. And, they last forever. I get one or two pairs each year.

Thanks for the tip. Can you say if the alpaca feel soft, and is it warmer than merino? I see that Scott Nichol also makes shooting socks with alpaca wool:

That may be an option for OTC.
