I don't agree at all. I wear cheap cotton socks with everything. Shoes wear out much faster than people realize. They are like cars, can look great and still be shot. You can replace inserts or whatever but you need to replace footwear regularly.

Huhh? My shoes and socks last. I used buy junk that wears out fast and promotes bacteria. No more.

They are good socks, I bought 5 pair when they were on sale a few weeks ago. Very comfortable and I think they will last as long as smartwool.

Back when working at the pulp paper mill guys talked about how nasty their feet were, hunting and otherwise. Each one wearing cotton tube socks like a little boy. They couldn't fathom the concept of merino wool when I mentioned it, especially for summertime! Fuuucking SW Washington morons with rotted ball sacks wearing tighty whiteys too!

I used to wear socks constructed like those, Wigwam, REI etc, like the Costco ones I suppose. First step up from cotton. But, they stretch out and are never ever in the same class as Jim's new ones. Seriously, a 5 year old premium will be better than a brand new "looser weave".

These things better be good.

How can a pair of socks be that expensive??

American Sheep Industry has socks too. Wife likes em.

Reece brand?



You missed a golden opportunity to support some of your MT compatriots for roughly the same $$:

Montana Made Socks

I have 2 of their "Extrerme Warmth Hats" and they are. One for hunting in gray/orange, one in brown for wearing when not hunting. Based solely upon the hat, Alpaca makes Merino feel like steel wool.

Ask him/her why you are a grumpy old man. He will tell you its because you have a sore back from worn out shoes.

Don't assume all of one brand perfect. The options make the value, just like any other gear. I recently decided one pair of Darn Toughs I have are not as good as the other versions.

Good to know they are unreliable.

LOL. Funny, but, my shoes are not worn out. And my socks don't stink, real bad.

No, just saying that there are many versions, they're not all the same construction. I think they will be perfect for summer actually. Again, remember all the guys that have said they're great, even Alaskans.... First hand reports vs your basis for your opinion.

So Boomer.

What recommendation do you have for something to wear under pants?

I've looked at some merino ones, usually cost more than my Wrangler Riggs pants and shorts.

Like them Mexican fellas said about badges................we don't need no stinkin' socks.


Geno my friend.... real men wear boots..... and socks.... and long pants..... smile




I did, for years, under orders from "The Man".

Now, unless I'm working around the place and need to, I'm in shorts and sandals, but mostly barefoot when I can.

I refuse to grow up. wink

Like undies? The very very best were a model from REI a few years ago. They changed them since so not certain as I have not tried the new ones. Damn things from 2017 are just like new, and have seen some real truckin! LOL Funk free.

Boxer briefs. Past version of this. Cheaper than new socks, lol.

Patagonia silk weight boxers too, but their wast band stretches out. They're spendier.

Negatory on the Wuhan by the way! Back to the salt mine. Wife is healthy too.

While we're discussing manly fashion.

I decided to switch from the Wrangler Riggs Ranger pant in favor of the USA made Carhart B01. No cargo pocket but Made in USA and built tough. Seems very rugged and protective.

Possibly offsets my China optics and AR rail/sling mount accessory purchases a little... Maybe.


Hold Up Suspenders too!


USA also, someone here turned me unto Chapman Tools from CT, for driver bits. I have invested.

And an SK screw driver and Malco prick punch.

A few basic nylon slings, USA made.

Also, a MR Heater brand heater, not USA but not China either. I'm trying.
