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

[–] Globulart 2 points 11 months ago (3 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.

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.
