Omg I would love a gift like that! What is this mythical brand of socks?

[–] Globulart 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's ueither but specifically ueither with horizontal patterns, any intricate designs don't last as long.

I bought a pack of 5 while at uni in 2011 and they're still going strong today, I have 10 others since then which are as good, but the one time I bought picture designs rather than straightforward stripes they lasted maybe 3-4 years, which still isn't horrible tbf.

There's nothing particularly special about them, they're 80% cotton, 17% polyester, 3% elastane. They just seem to last forever and feel great.

Awesome, thank you for the recommendations and the heads up! I'll definitely have to try some. Lately all my socks have been springing holes, so I'm excited to try some more durable ones

I just googled them and the first thing that pops up is their Amazon page saying they are a clothing company founded in 2016...

Potentially acquired the company I bought the first socks from at some point then. I found the exact socks I'd bought years later and ordered more pairs, might just be idemtical patterns and still good quality but the first set I had were definitely at university, which I graduated in 2012.
