Two pairs of Two Socks socks

Now we tend to think that a sock is a sock is a sock. But think for a short while. Some socks are never comfortable - they rumple up and are harsh-textured. Some stretch out of shape at the least encouragement. Some are just vile colours or designs (cartoon character socks especially). Some wear through after being worn a handful of times. Some, however, are soft, just the right thickness, fit well, durable and are tastefully-coloured and designed.

The latter description fits the two pairs of socks I've just received from Two Socks, a new sock-making outfit in which socks are designed in London and made by a family-owned business in Turkey of the best combed cotton they could find.

You'll see from Two Socks' website that there is something for everyone in terms of sock thickness, colour, design and pattern. Prices are £7.50 to £8.00 a pair - excellent value given the range of choice and the quality.

I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks now (they have been washed, don't worry) and they have remained soft, comfortable and well-shaped. What more could a fellow ask of his socks?

Highly recommended!
