Incidentally, as beautiful as they were, I didn't wear them myself, other than the odd free sample.

Both the cotton lisle, and wool sock, could only be worn once or twice, before developing holes.

I bought cotton-rich socks from Primark.

Comfortable, lasted for ages, and at five pairs for a quid I didn't give a stuff where in the world they were made.
