The Art of Wardrobe Endorsement- Swiftwick Socks

[chasea]

So you forgot about your friend's birthday party after work. Your company takes care of all your dry cleaning; and the clothes you wore into the office, before suiting up, are not going to cut it. Missing the party isn't an option because Luis and Tere (who's birthday it is) are the kind of friends who call you 10 times a day, and beg you and the dog to stay at their place during the hurricane. They worry about you. You're going to their raw food restaurant, Rockin Raw, in Billyburg. You're wearing the suit you have on. You're going to be "that guy." Besides, there will be girls there. Vegan girls, but girls.

So you go. You drink beer and politely refuse the uncooked food because of your weird hangups. You do eat a slice of the raw birthday cake when you'd prefer the raw mounds- the ones you ate when you thought you could date that vegan girl- because the level of genius on that shit is nutzoid. You chat, have fun, play with their dog (who can run around the restaurant because Tere's hippie doctor totally had it registered as a service animal when she broke her foot.)

You walk home in the rain. You're soaked. You remember your dry cleaning won't be back tomorrow.
You hang the suit to dry, stuff the shoes with newspaper, and hope for the best.

In the morning, you shove a hand down your shoes to find the insides still damp. What do you do?

You grab the dark gray pair of Swiftwick winter socks that your friend Clark at Victory Bicycle Studio gave you the last time you were home. You go to work. No one notices a wet shoe smell becuase your feet are dry and that miracle fabric can TCB. And no one- except the bike messenger in line at Chipotle, who gives you a knowing nod- notices the white "W" on your ankles.

Fin.

I recently got a pair of these as a gift. They are pretty over the top in a good way. Thanks C. you make it hard to keep ones wallet intact.

Swiftwick has replaced SmartWool as my high-tech sock supplier.
They are truly top-notch socks, are sleek, and fit just perfectly. Enjoy.

I'm a sock guy and I have plenty, but I'll search these out and buy a pair anyway.

Great story (or was that marketing?).

My ECJ Swiftwicks are the first thing I grab for the bike. I grab them sometimes to wear with street wear as long as I'm not wearing shorts. Best socks I've worn, ever. 2nd best might be the Rapha merino wool ones - those are pretty damn perfect except for I want some more height.

Wait, can I get paid for this shit?

I've recently moved on from Swiftwick to Save Our Sole. A couple years ago, I bought all the Swiftwicks we had in size L. I've got a bunch of the 1" cuff and 4" cuff versions that are "new with tag." if someone would like to try them, I'll send you a pair if you cover shipping. Bk, wh, and grey.

Most durable sock I've ever used. I just don't like how soggy they end up feeling. Your feet stay dry, but the socks seem to not want to dry out.

I'm referring to Olefin version.
