I had heard that Acorn socks were not the same and were being made over seas.  It's true they are not as good as the original product.  They are thinner,shorter and not as warm and to top it off, one pair had missed stitching on the seam which left a 3" hole in the sock.  Sorry that the REAL THING is no longer made and will try to make my old ones last!!!!  They were never cheap but they are now over priced for the quality!!
