Saks vs. Nordstrom: Merino Socks

[pawuhomi]

Dappered is always plugging those Nordstrom merino socks. However I have yet to really see them address anything from Saks (or saks off 5th). I was at the SOF today, and they were running a buy 2 get 2 free deal on their socks. This would basically put their merino socks (made in italy, no less) at $7.50CAD ($5.96 USD) each if you buy 4 pairs. What I want to know is, is there a reason that Nordstrom is the go to? Will their socks be better quality in some way? or are the Saks ones just as good?
Let me know!

I only have experience with the knee-high socks, but the difference in that case is price which favors Nordstrom. I think regular price is the main reason they are favored.

I purchased some socks from SOF a few years back. I didn't like them. But I don't think they were wool.

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you'll find that the main page focuses on products that pay for advertising or have affiliate programs. Running a website isn't free--I don't blame them for that, but do note that there are many excellent sales and products that don't always get coverage.
