Spent alot of time looking for good, 'reasonable' ragg sox, and of course, found them at still THE best retailer in business, L.L.Bean...tip for washing: turn inside out, as even gentle cycle beats up on the merino wool blend...and no machine dry...put 'em over (not on) radiator at night...
I have purchased these socks for years and they have lasted through washing & wearing, however the last 4 pair I purchased left a lot to be desired. After the 1st wash, they came out matted...they were washed exactly like the others. My husband still wears them and likes them. The latest purchase after washing came out just like new as have the others in the past. I will continue to buy your socks.
I've worn these socks once and washed them. They are very soft and comfortable. The seam at the toe does rub a bit but a quick adjustment corrects it. These socks are very warm and I cannot wait to use them on our upcoming camping trip!
