I am a 25 year old combat veteran half covered in tattoos listening to some hardcore punk right now that has never held a non labor type job. I am also getting my MBA and will be a successful businessman soon I hope. My statement was that you guys are assuming that all people into this thing are just gay or that they have predispositions. I was stating that these are typically just a part of the finer things of life that some indulge in. It is you guys that see a pocket square or BMW and instantly separate yourself from this person and judge. > > But nice try. šŸ™‚ > > But I do have all types of money though. BALLIN!!! Ima go buy me some shit then go to Pitts and flaunt it. where does combat veteran have to do with anything? we have a few disabled combat veterans here too. couple pittspeed members have been blown up with IED. there are vereans everywhere. and i thank them for their service. but to flaunt conbat service along with your baller status listening to hardcore punk sounds like a recipe for EMO generation sir. ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > I would wear the shit out of those. It gets pretty addictive. First you start just buying slightly better dress socks and then you pick up a pair of these and you actually look forward to the day of the week you get to wear them. Then you donā€™t wanna wash them šŸ™‚ I only have one other pair: I bought these next ones too but my brother jacked me for themā€¦ it was funny so i didnā€™t do anything about it. ---

nope. reason i say that is company, craftsmenship and relative cost. the socks are not dyed to be mutli-coloured. They are made in italy and each colour is a different piece of fabric woven into the sock. Theyā€™re not expensiveā€¦ only like $35 a pair, but i guess that would be a lot to spend on a pair of socks relatively speaking. For those reasons, i would use the analogy of a one-piece CNCā€™d titanium shift knob or titanium rear muffler section with sexy burnt tips tigged onto stainless piping. limited function, high quality, mostly for a bit of ā€˜popā€™. so by ā€˜companyā€™, itā€™s really by association. The kind of guys that do the above to their cars donā€™t do under glow. mind you, this is an import (jap/euro) perspective. hot-rod dudes wonā€™t agreeā€¦ i couldnt do a hot rod analogy because old cars suck šŸ™‚ ---

Man I must say all of the things discussed so far have done very little for me. I see their place in my future but as of now just not too interested. But I am so fucking in on these socks. More on the scarf it is 100% cashmere and I must say it felt really nice (I rubbed it on my face yeah thats right) and looks great as well. My gf is very well dressed/preppy whatever ya call it so she is into this stuff and buys me nice clothes and such. Anyhow it is really nice just not something I could see myself wearing. I would post a pic but they gift wrapped it for me. I looked at some of the cheaper ones online and such but I bought this from a local business on the Elmwood strip as I like to support local business and wanted to see the quality first hand. ---

yeah $335 is crazy for a scarf.
