Pair of Thieves – FINALLY on amazon

chad

I’ve been waiting for quite a while for this and it’s sorta kinda here. PAIR OF THIEVES IS ON AMAZON Well… only kinda. They have a few items listed, but not a ton. And only some of them ship via prime….so it’s only a small step in the right direction. I’d love to see more listed and hopefully that is the direction they are heading!

I have quite a few of their socks now, they are officially my favorite socks and as I’m writing this, I have a pair on. I wear them to work, not at work, hanging out, to play basketball or almost any sport except soccer. I even have matching pairs, yes they make mom and me or dad and me pairs, for my son and me! They are super comfy and I could go on and on about their “Sneaky Performance”, but seriously they are one of the better socks I’ve found. I’ve had my first pair for over 3 years now and still wear them, they are still holding up!! Crazy. Price wise, Target is probably cheaper since they go on sale, and pairofthieves.com has a better selection, but amazon still has a few woth checking out.

I also own both their types of underwear, their SuperFit and SuperSoft and can recommend them too! Their boxer briefs are my go to and I have some on my Christmas list! Even their undershirts are super freakin soft!!! Really I’d have more of everything they make if their prices were a little lower, so I get most on sale if I can, or wait and buy some here and there! So if you haven’t, go try some! You won’t regret it!

Modern Motif – Haberdashery socks

chad

With the holiday season in full swing, what better stocking stuffer than…well, stockings (aka socks)? And what better socks than awesome ones? And…well you get where I’m going with this. I found some pretty awesome socks and think their packaging as well as the socks themselves would make a great holiday gift.

Socks work great as a work gift, for secret Santa gift exchanges, or even for white elephant gift exchanges. They are always needed, everyone wears them, and who doesn’t want a splash of color in their outfit? These socks by Modern Motif are pretty interesting and have something for anyone on your Christmas, Chanukah, or other holiday list! Modern Motif also sells quite a few other goodies like ties, bow ties, and matching sets with a handkerchief. The sets range from single socks, two pairs, up to full sets for 6 groomsmen! They even have wooden bow ties with matching socks! What more could a dapper Dan ask for!

Washington Capitals Dress Socks!

chad

Hockey season is back, thank god!  So I decide I wanted to rep my local team, who happens to be the Stanley cup winners of this past season, the Washington Capitals!!! C-A-P-S! CAPS, CAPS, CAPS!!

Went ahead and looked for some good socks and found quite a few options, and some of the better looking ones are below. There are a few knee high options, numerous unisex dress socks and some low cut socks.

I lean toward the dress socks so I ordered a pair of awesome Capitals dress socks and they’ll be here in a couple days thanks to Amazon Prime (btw they have a 30 day free trial!) I’ll be sure to post a review of them once I get them and have tried them out! I’ve never purchased this brand so hopefully they are up to snuff! The seller also has other NHL teams and the socks look pretty good – the Penguins, Leafs, Bruins, Oilers, the list goes on! I definitely recommend all NHL fans to take a look for their team. There’s nothing like sporting your team socks while in a suit or business attire.

A few of my others favorites are below. If you own any Washington Capitals dress socks or can recommend any, let me know! I’m always on the lookout for some awesome socks!

Products from Amazon.com

Socks to Say I Love You!

chad

With Valentine’s day coming up, this weeks/months pair or focus is socks that say “I Love You!”
These awesome socks are for that special someone who you want to show a little extra love by putting some socks on their feet. Reminding them every time they look down that their special someone got them a little something special! So if you have a special someone who likes to add some color to their outfit, I recommend you read on for some awesome socks. Majority of them are via Amazon Prime, so you can order now and still get them in time for V-Day, or just get them in two days for whenever you need them! A few of these socks are uni-sex while other are Men/Women’s only, but honestly you can be the judge of that.

I prefer Sheec dress socks just because they aren’t so upfront but have a nice little simplicity to them that still adds a little flair. Let me know what you think of these Valentine’s Day socks!

Sock Update – Blue Q socks

chad

So, with no updating quite as often as weekly, we are falling back to Sock Updates or Socks of the month!! This time around we are going to go a little edgy with a new sock I found, Blue Q. They have quite a selection of awesome socks, mostly witty or short phrase dress socks or crew socks for men and women. Some are a little R-rated, eg – “It’s a beautiful day, don’t F it up!”.

There are quite a few more there too, so take a look at the men’s and women’s novelty crew socks that they offer! Blue Q has an offer that includes a sock ring that keeps your socks together!! I normally fold my socks over each other, pulling the opening down so that they stay together, but the sock ring looks pretty sweet.

It seems most of Blue Q’s Novelty socks are right 6.99 to 12.99, a few pairs might be a little higher, with some including the sock ring! Most of their socks are on Amazon Prime too! Blue Q has a few other items they sell too, ranging from messenger bags to Pee wipes to some crazy coin purses.

If you find Blue Q’s items interesting, let me know in the comments below! If you think it’s a little too crude, say so too!

Sock Update: Star Wars Socks

chad

With Star Wars Rogue One being released only a week ago, I thought another star wars sock was in order! The ones I chose were the BB-8 socks, since he’s now everyone’s favorite droid! Who doesn’t love some BB-8 action! I haven’t seen Rogue One so I’m not sure if BB-8 appears in it, but either way BB-8!!

The seller on amazon has a huge selection of Star Wars socks and I highly recommend taking a look! Looking for Chewbacca socks? They got em. Kylo Ren socks? Yep! Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, R2D2, and C3PO!! This seller has a ton and majority of them are all available via Amazon Prime!! Again, if you don’t have Amazon Prime, check it out. You get a ton of stuff with free 2 day shipping, and sometimes even free 1 day shipping! It’s crazy!

But back to the socks. Check them out!!

chad

The sock of the week this week is a pack of awesome dress socks from Amazon.com. This pack of five socks is available from VYBE socks on Amazon for 29.99, with PRIME shipping!! If you aren’t familiar with Amazon Prime, it’s a great service that allows you to get free two day shipping on most of your orders when placed on Prime items, which these socks qualify for!

But back to these awesome dress/crew socks! They are available in a few different styles, and I chose the one I like the most. Venture/Vybe has a few different sock options ranging from $21.99 up to $29.99, with a variety of different styles. The pack I chose has a nice mix of argyle, striped, and pocka dot dress socks with a nice set of colors. They are made up of 81% Cotton, 17% Nylon, and 2% Spandex and have a 4.5 star rating on Amazon, so give them a try!

Sock of the Week – Sock Habit

chad

The sock of the week this week is a pair of socks from Sock Habit. The pair I chose is only one of a few different pairs they have that look pretty awesome. Who doesn’t love a pair of shamrock socks? These are paired up with a nice looking and matching color stripe sock. I like that Sock Habit adds in a few photos of how the look when worn; Having the socks in an outfit helps show their true color. This pair has actually been discontinued by Sock Habit, but they still have some awesome pairs! Check out the updated Striped/Argyle/Polka dot set that are one of my favorite color wise that Sock Habit offers.

Sock of the Week – Washington Capitals Socks

chad

The Washington Capitals are in the playoffs for the 2016 NHL race to the Stanley Cup. I’m a pretty big Caps fan being from Maryland and I have a jersey and a hat, so why not get a pair of socks to got with it too? In my mind, there are only two socks that you could get that are true Capitals socks, the ones you see here and then these Reebok ones. I think I like the ones picture here better, but apparently they are on the thicker side for socks, more like winter socks that you would wear with boots, or tube socks. The Reebok Washington Capitals socks look a little nicer and seem to be true crew socks that you could wear to work or the Caps game.

Either choice is a pretty good one though! Rock the red! Go caps! Let me know what you guys think, or if you have a better pair of Caps socks I would love to know!

Sock Of the Week – Star Wars Dress socks

chad

This week’s sock of the week is a new Star Wars sock from Cufflinks.com. They sell a few different ones on Amazon.com and even have them via Amazon Prime!. If you don’t know what Amazon Prime is, for 99 bucks a year, that’s only $8.25 a month, you get free 2 day shipping on Prime products from amazon, and there are millions of them!! It’s a really great deal.

Well these socks are available via Prime, meaning you can get them in two days! They are some of the more subdued Star Wars dress socks I’ve found. They get the point across, that you like Star Wars, but yet aren’t over the top. My favorite are probably the X-wing fighter ones. At first someone might just think it’s a pattern, but the true Star Wars fan’s out there will know!!

star-wars

They also have listed a yoda pair of socks, Darth Vader dress socks, The Empire dress socks, and Death Star socks! Decide for yourself which one you like the most. Prices range form 19.95 to 24.95, so not the cheapest socks out there but still within range for a select audience of Star War enthusiasts who want to dress up their socks and show off their fandom.
