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!

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-Argyle Dress Socks

chad

I was looking for some nice argyle dress socks this weekend and stumbled across dapperganger.com, and found the socks I was looking for! They come in a sleek little package that is worthy of gifting, if you were looking for say, a groomsmen gift or something for a guy friend. They seem like a quality set of socks with a higher cotton content than most, 78% Cotton/20% Polyamide/2% Spandex. Comfort fit and performance is what they say these socks bring to the table. That and a pop of color.

They have four different sets to chooses from on Amazon and thier site, dapperganger.com. They currently only sell socks, so they must be pretty good at making them. Check them out and let me know what you think.

FineFit Socks Review – 4 out of 5

chad


About a year ago, I was looking for some socks and wanted to get something different. I found FineFit Socks on amazon and really liked the variety that they offered and also the fact the it was a pack of 12 socks for only a couple dollars a sock. The price to quantity ratio was where it needed to be and the reviews seemed pretty good so I purchased them.

A year later, I am still wearing them and they are holding up pretty good! With polka dot, striped and argyle, there is something for everyone. I was a little concerned at first when I saw some of the colors of the socks that I received, but they ended up working out just fine. After all, a nice pop to a normal workday clothes can help brighten a day.

The socks did shrink a little bit when they were washed so the fit is a little smaller now but they are still comfortable. With a nice blend of 80% cotton 15% Polyester, and 5% spandex, they fit snug but still let your feet breath. I’ve been able to match most colors in my business casual attire to one of the socks I was given in this pack and couldn’t recommend them enough. They aren’t quite as well made as some socks out there, but for the price it’s worth it, especially if you are looking for more than one or two pairs of awesome socks.

I’ll leave this purchase with a rating of 4/5, just like I left me amazon review of them. If you find yourself in need of a dozen dress socks and end up getting these, let me know your thoughts below!

Sock of the week: Argyle Green

chad

This week’s awesome socks are some shnazy argyle dress socks. I wear most of my amazing socks as dress socks just to dress something up at work and have a little fun. I really like these. They aren’t too over the top but still bring a little brightness to your day.

Mitscoots not only makes some nice socks, but for everyone they sell, they give a pair to someone in need. On top of that, their socks are 100% made in America. If you needed any other reason to buy these amazing socks, I’d say that those are them! Do you like them? Love em? Let me know!
