If your socks could talk...

[thunderw21]

Your suits, your hats should show the serious business side of you.

Let your socks convey the life of the party.

If my socks could talk they'd swear at me fit to make a sailor blush. I don't think I could show any of them here in good taste except for a nice argyle pair my girlfriend got me. Slim, where did you get those green ones?

Slim, where did you get those green ones?

Aren't they a hoot? I picked them up at a place here in town called Dealers Room Casino Clothiers while I was waiting for a suit to be tailored in the shop next door. It's a funny place that carries an odd collection of rental wear, casino uniforms, and zoot suits. I can't recall the brand of the socks but I can stop by there again and look if you'd like.

Wow. Am I boring or what? I wear the same socks all of the time, year-round: black Merino wool. Why? Because it's simple and matches everything. If I want to show my "wild side", I will wear a pair of leopard-print boxers....or maybe zebra . But, since I don't own any of those either, I guess I don't HAVE a "wild side"! [huh] lol

Great shots! I thrifted a pair of shoe trees just like those today for $3.

I don't have most of those AA/Esky/Fellows pics. Thanks for posting them!

Are you going to wear those vintage socks?

I love socks and have a bunch in my sock drawer. I'll try to snap some pics and post them.

Thanks Alan! Gotta love cheap shoe trees.

No prob, I get most of them off of the Lounge and Will's blog, "A Suitable Wardrobe".

Nope, I'm keeping those fellars as they are. They're too special and rare to use.

Please do! I'd like to see other people's sock collection.

Cheers


Edit:
How could I forget this one?!?!

But where does one store vintage socks?

Why, in a vintage box, of course. Not original to the socks.

I love colorful socks! Several issues of Esquire from the 30's-40's encourage wearing them and are full of good illustrative ideas.

Clocks! No one makes clocks anymore!

I've heard of the 'clocks' reference before. What are they exactly?

A vertical design, often marked with arrows at either end. Generally like the two pair to the right:
