Hey guys, I'm on a mission to find better quality socks. I realize that obsessing over such a little detail has essentially confirmed the fact that I've gone off the deep end. C'est la vie. Here are the qualifications I'm looking for:
1. Inexpensive. Under $10 each.
2. Classy. I need socks to wear with my dress shoes, as well as my more casual shoes. Keep in mind that casual for me is a pair of AE McTavish's at $290.
3. Quality. They should last at least a year.
Here's what I've already tried:
Gold Toe: these last for ~2 months of rotated wear before fading to the point where they look horrible.
J. Crew: surprisingly good quality, but expensive. They run $10 for a pair when on sale.
Ralph Lauren: Expensive crap. They retain their color, but the elastic wears out after two washes. Two. Two!
Ralph Lauren Polo: Expensive casual socks. They cost a lot. They do last for a while.
Target Merona: I only have two pairs of these, so the jury is still out. They're $2.50 each, which I like, and they look as good as my $20 Ralph Lauren socks.
