I've been having a hard time finding anything except the ankle socks. I hate those!

I like my Falke socks, $10 will get you one sock.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:The U.K. newspaper used to do a thing where they asked politicians everyday questions like how much is a pint of milk to see how in touch they were with everyday people.Miguelito wrote:Half that cost is probably the shipping to the U.S.!ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:$50 for a 5 pack of socks!Miguelito wrote:These monogrammed socks are actually made in Cambodia, and are pretty light weight and breathable. I'll try to find their direct website, as there is a way to purchase them and have them locally delivered, instead of going through the third party site I linked to.
Migs, please tell me that you don’t pay $50 for socks
I got gifted a three pack of these socks, purchased locally I presume. Need to find out how he did.
I can't remember the last time I bought socks, but in the West I seem to remember about $8 for a decent pair of dress socks to be about right. I think the above mentioned socks, at 5 for $50, sell mostly to wedding parties (gifts to the groomsmen), or from women gifting to their bfs/husbands.
How much are socks could be the equivalent for Migs.
For me - you can’t beat Marks and Spencer’s socks - possibly also made in Cambodia. Sold in U.K. for £16 ($21) for a pack of ten. $2 a pair, compared to $10 a pair.

Still no answer though beyond some nonsense about ordering $10 a pair socks off Amazon.Jep wrote:Real socks on K440....priceless.

I’ve never been able to find decent socks here. I buy a few multipacks every time I go home. If you are in desperate need I think I still have an unopened pack at home.Lucky Lucan wrote:Still no answer though beyond some nonsense about ordering $10 a pair socks off Amazon.Jep wrote:Real socks on K440....priceless.

Good luck with cotton, clothing is better and cheaper in Australia than Cambodia. We live about a hundred metres of the DFO where clothes can be a few Aussie dollars apiece. Then there is Kmart, Target, Big W and Best for Less.
Cheaper clothes than Cambodia.

I forget the name of it, but that Singaporean remnants shop that was in Sorya Mall (3rd or 4th floor) used to always have a load of them, I think that they also had a second outlet in one of the other small Cambodian malls - the one on MST Blvd.Lucky Lucan wrote:Still no answer though beyond some nonsense about ordering $10 a pair socks off Amazon.Jep wrote:Real socks on K440....priceless.

Two pages of crap about socks? You people need to get a fucking life. Glad I have one - and I don't own a single pair of socks.

So, either you wear flip flops all the time - classy.
Or you wear shoes with no socks - stinking.
