Uniqlo/American Trench
bro i was just thinking about this lol
tapping into this thread
point 6(merino) 1733 (merino/silk) KnestKnit(merino) Rototo(cotton/washi)
American trench, there were some on sale at nordstrom online not long ago
Might still be some up
They had womens models, but they’re all OS mens
most of my crews are vans/converse socks but all of those have branding on them so YMMV
comfy and soft tho
dickies (quarter length socks are better imo, they dont go up as high so it looks better)
Darn tough does do plain running socks if you like them
Yeah but not in white
Oh yeah but not the crews
Sorry I misread what version u were talking about
I’m not a fan of the running hight socks
unbleached apparel
SouSou is fun too
I bought a bunch of these hippy dippy organic cotton ones a few years ago based on a rec from I don’t remember where and I like them https://www.faeriesdance.com/organic-crew-sock-3-pack.html
Organic Crew Sock 3-Pack | Organic Threads Socks

Useful thread,
Someone stole all 10 of my white pairs while they were in the washing machine (shared laundry room for the whole building) a few weeks ago :nooooo:
(wish I was making that up :xd: )
American Trench Mono Stripe - if you get 4 pairs they discount 1 pair
thats what i did
not mono just solids
but
sweeeeet
its buy 3 get 1 free
yeah they’re genuinely the best i’ve found for the price
and look good with shorts imo
yeah shorts was really my thing, i love darn tough for comfort the warranty and merino but i think they look a bit silly with shorts or cropped pants
I’m with ya. i wear diff socks with boots and pants for sure 👍
Yeah I usually only get away with the black ones bc they're black. They definitely don't have the greatest colors or prints
my last proxy order had a couple pair from dunlop; kinda thick wale, tiny logo that you can hide by scrunching, comfy
that said i do rotate through a six pack of hanes socks lol
in the exact same predicament
Rototo was my answer
I like
https://point6.com/collections/length_3-4-crew/products/classic-extra-light-3-4-crew
im looking at these now
Yeah sadly those still look like running socks to me
ah
as long as they are plain white and not fully crew thats all i want
is point6 a quality brand?
No idea
who knew trying to build a basic wardrobe would be such a pain in the ass
shits evolving into a mental illness for me at this point i spend all of my waking hours researching these discord and reddit threads
Im gonna get banned if i vent any further so ill refrain
No they are solid, have a ton of their socks for years and still going strong
The plain white ones are very regular in terms of looks but are super comfy and temperature regulating
ok thanks
do they stain easy
I like that they are 66% merino wool instead of 40% like in darn tough’s lightweight socks
All white socks will stain easy, it’s kinda just a fact of what they are
May just need some oxygen bleach every once in a while
I see
i bought some crocs for house shoes to negate this as much as i can
Is it worth buying nice wool in white instead or should i just stick to cheap cotton
Yeah that will help, some shoes also like leather can transfer dye as well it just kinda happens
Luckily my nikes are mesh interior leather exterior
Depends on how much you care
If you like wool a lot and have the money sure why not
But also cotton socks aren’t the end of the world
Well i plan on having 8 pairs of white half crew socks as my yearround solution
lil ocd but i did it with black darn toughs for awhile
yea
I feel like reddit sort of makes them seem like cancer
yeah reddit is... not smart
i mean if you only have 8 pairs, wool may be worth it just for longevity
Also like the odor resistance
I keep mentioning odor resistance but dw im a clean person lol
its just realllly nice
i mean yeah for sure, imo most of my socks are wool really just beacuse i like it and find them very comfy. the the white crews are basicaly only for if im wearing sandals or shorts where they can be seen
They will be my only white clothing articles though so my only gripe is idk if 7 pairs of socks is worth being all i put in the washing machine
ah
Yes i used to exclusively wear black micro crew darn toughs
but black socks look so bad with shorts which is my preferred bottom lol
i mean if they just need to brightened up you can use a bucket and some bleach to soak then rinse and wash. mine all just go in the wash with the rest of my stuff and look fine so far
the bottoms are a little discolored but thats inevitable and no one sees it anyway
Is the dont bleach thing for wool not as important as they make it seem?
right
oh i forgor about that i dont bleach my stuff ever it was just an option that came to mind
yeah should probably avoid on wool
I hope point6 finally drops their underwear again lol
been looking for a better material than nylon
ah okay i appreciate ya man
Point6 is the only well known wool brand currently selling white crews so i might get them
gonna circle back here to say maybe it's time to take a break
to clarify: not from the discord
oh yeah i totaly missed that with zeo here
not sure if you are the same but sometimes when im looking for a new item or whatever i spiral into researching and looking for shit in an unhealty way all to usually spend more than i need to on a jacket or something, this hobby should be fun if its not then taking a break is good
but as someone who was highly interested in this kind of self-improvement, sometimes taking a break to digest what you've encountered is what leads to moving forward
yea
the issue is i havent even really started yet
I’m not asking too much of myself i dont think
only you know your limits but - and this is not to shame - this isn't or shouldn't be an all consuming pursuit imo, and if it is it's worth looking into why
you don't need to build the entire wardrobe from scratch before enjoying the fruits of your labor; sometimes you discover your tastes or questions to ponder while doing other things in life
on topic le bon shoppe has cute socks
tysm
Ah
i will probably do point6 tbh
Yea what Oman said about white socks is spot on. Also wait for a sale, they just ran a 30% off, so July 4th is probably the next one
ok
they are 40% off rn tho
https://point6.com/collections/length_3-4-crew/products/classic-extra-light-3-4-crew?variant=46669008863456
am i missing smth or is this a good deal they are running rn, or do u mean they will do 30% on TOP of this?
Use code VIPDADS at checkout
tysm ur the man
can i stack it with the 20% welcome code lol
Try it lol
Had a funny experience where a websites 10% discount code actually made something cost more because it dipped below the free shipping threshold
doesnt stack
but vipdads is better
u da goat
do u think that code will work tomorrow
(my paycheck)
nope expires tonight
Alright
do u think the socks i selected are good for all white crews
I can seal the deal tonight
Yea I have them, they are great
tysm
do you find that your kirkland blanks are a boxy fit
or that they are too heavy for use as an undershirt
there's two different varieties iirc, the heavier blank is boxier while the one i wear is basically an undershirt but thick enough (for me) to wear as an outer layer
make ur own threads please lol
u completely jacked/bombed out oman's thread/question
:xd: it’s fine i disregarded everything here and bought socks, japan anyway
okay yeah i shouldn't have done that
its all good, takes a while getting used to the structure/rules of a place
np just next time its easier to make a thread
