SOCKS

Your attire, broadly speaking, is built on a foundation of sock. There's lot of real com- fort or otherwise in a pair of socks not necessarily physical comfort.

Let them, your socks, fit your feet like gloves do your hands. Let them be unostentatious, but still sufficiently obvious to proclaim them. selves as good socks. If they are good socks. If, in short, they are our socks.

There's not a cheap-looking sock among all we have to show you

and we can still surprise you pleasantly with the price we ask.
