Sid Mashburn 7-Day Sock Set, Trouser Navy Extra Fine Merino

If you, too, wonder why all of your socks seem to disappear (does the washing machine eat them? are there elves? where do they go?) and why it's so hard to keep them matched up, this is the set for you. 7 pairs of trouser-length navy socks, hand-linked in Italy and nearly identical save for the tiny color-coded toe seam that differentiates each pair. White, yellow, orange, red, aqua, blue, green. Aside from that toe seam, though, they are technically all the same. So you can, in perhaps the subtlest form of rebellion on the planet, mix and match as you please. Wear yellow on the left and aqua on the right. It's your life! But matching them up feels really good, too. (And it's an 11% savings vs. buying them individually, if you're keeping score at home.)
