I'm sorry but my socks are still on. 100% wool.

Who picks wool for their fucking socks?

There's nothing sexy about wool.

EDIT: Fucking. Intercourse. Pun.

Wool socks are the best and I won't be entertaining assertions to the contrary. Wool is temperature regulating, not just super thick and hot, so there are wool socks you can wear in the summer. They also don't hold odor (bacteria) as much.

And they stay insulating even if soaked all the way through. Perfect for hiking or trudging through snow
