After discussion with the esteemed seller, we've noted that the Nagrani socks with the diamond or crosshatch pattern use wool for the crosshatching. My first pair did not survive the washer too well (obviously... it is wool) so it is recommended that you handwash. The socks in question are easy to spot from the inside:

TheHoff is wise in his washing suggestion. He found that the wool cross-hatching can get too fuzzy if machine washed.


The list has been updated with three pairs of the very nice blue and tan herringbone, and more pairs sold.

11.5 here and having purchased multiple pairs multiple times I would say buy 'em. Some pairs are not quite as over as I like my OTC (comparing to Ben Silver's sea island cottons) but that is not neccesarily a foot size issue. Judging by how the foot of the sock fits on me you will be fine.

I'm an 11.5, and I find the fit to be just about perfect.
