These are my socks.  I dont' mess around with any other brand.  I have basically a 3 gallon bucket full of these.  I don't waste my time folding them out of the dryer. I don't waste my time with 'patterns' on my socks.. I keep it simple.  The carharts are some of the best value vs function I've found in socks. They keep my feet warm, padded and they aren't itchy or flamboyant socks (as I call them) that business casual fashion figs wear. with all the colors and pattern thin dress socks.  These are mans socks.  works for blue colar job to white color office job.
