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!!

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.

Express yourself, Express socks. 5 out of 5

chad

I went by express the other day and didn’t even realized they sold socks!!  I should have known though since they sell some pretty nice dress clothes that they would also sell dress socks.  I found out also that they had quite a few on clearance, for $5.99.  They don’t list many clearance socks online, but in store they had quite a few.  They do have a few listed on express.com men’s clearance section.

These are some pretty comfy socks and I highly recommend them.  They had quite a few patterns, probably a dozen different ones at the store I was at and most of them looked great.  These socks go a little higher up than some of my other dress socks, just over halfway up the calf.  Overall, these are pretty high quality and normally retail for 10.99, so if you can grab them for 5.99, that’s a pretty good deal.  I’d give these a 5/5 for quality and level of comfort. And of course what really matters is they have some really awesome patterns.

Pair of Thieves from Target

chad

I was in Target the other day and, as always, looked in to see what socks were there and specifically what socks were on sale. As you may or may not know, Pair of Thieves sells their socks at Target. They normally have a pretty good selection of them, anywhere from six to a dozen, and more importantly quite a few are on sale. I think they normally go for 10-12 dollars but I have always bought them on sale. This time they were on clearance for just over $5.

I’ve always been happy with Pair of Thieves socks and I guess that’s why I look for them almost every time I’m in Target. They are well made and when on sale you can’t really beat the quality for the price. Plus, they have some great patterns, probably some of my favorite.  These two patterns I couldn’t find listed on the Pair of Thieves website, but you may have luck in your local Target or online at target.com. I found both of these pairs there for a clearance price of $5.99, the denin nep stripe and the orange diamonds

My review of Pair of Thieves socks can be found here. If you have a pair and like them let me know!

Sock of the Week – Deadpool

chad

The pool!!! First, if you haven’t seen the Deadpool movie, go see it! One of the better action hero movies I think, but that is because I’m also a big fan of comedy. These socks have just the right amount of Deadpool, that red so the enemy can’t see ya bleed! These socks seem comfy enough where you could wear them during sports or other activities. These socks are 9.95 (2/11/2017) plus free shipping with Amazon Prime! This seller has quite a few different super hero socks, although Deadpool says he isn’t a super hero, I guess we’ll let that slide since there is free shipping!.

I love me some super hero socks, and these Deadpool ones are close enough. They have a 4.5/5 stars review and look pretty sweet! Let me know what you think!

Sock of the week – Funky Socks

chad

I found these socks through one of my random searches and let me tell you, this seller on Amazon has a TON of great socks! I could hardly decide which ones to feature for this weeks Sock of the Week. The ones I chose are a pretty awesome 6 pack for only 20.99 (2/11/2017), that’s only 3.50 per pair of socks! That’s a pretty good deal!

These socks are also on Amazon Prime, and have 4.5 stars on amazon, so they seem to be pretty good. I like the purple/blue as the other set, black/brown/navy, are a little meh. The blend in these are definitely meant for dress than play, 97% and 3% spandex, and so won’t be too breathable.

This seller also has a few other socks for right around the same price point, with two pair for 9.99 (2/11/2017) also on Prime. They have over 40 different pairs to choose from and most of them are pretty awesome!

I’ll be picking these up in a month or two when I need a few new pairs. If you have them, let me know what you think!

Sock of the Week – Maryland Socks

chad

Being from the state of Maryland and having lived here all my life, I’m pretty fond of our flag. I find that most people from Maryland are a big fan of the flag, with it’s white crosses and Calvert family black and gold pattern. I stumbled across these MD socks and thought they liked pretty awesome so wanted to make sure I posted them for not just everyone else, but so I remember to get a pair too!

Love the look of these socks, especially the grey ones. Although the flag isn’t quite as large as on the white socks, it still stands out and looks better over all I think. The white look good too, but I guess I just like the grey a little more, but then again the gold look pretty spiffy too. I really couldn’t decide which ones I like the most, so all of them are below…

First things first, let me tell you that these socks are pretty awesome! See my review of them here, I actually have this exact pair along with one of their others that they sell. They are probably my favorite pair of socks I own, and that is saying alot!

So this weeks sock of the week is a pair from Pair of Thieves, that they call the “spotted mind”. I don’t know about the name, but the socks are pretty comfy and well made. They are 62% combed cotton, 26% polyestor, 6% nylon, 4% natural latex rubber and 2% spandex, and that makes for a pretty snug and comfy fit. You can find them at www.target.com and on the makers site, Pair of Thieves. They sometimes go on sale at Target and you can grab them for pretty cheap which is what I recommend! If you are curious about the socks checkout my < href="http://awesome-socks.com/?p=249&preview=true">full review and if you own a pair, let me know what you think!
