The new purple…
before washing and drying
The new 40 inch longsocks have started arriving from Cyprus.
They won’t be available til I figure out how to rework the longsock styles so they make more sense, there are sooo many variations right now and we’re out of alot of colors. These measure about 41 inches heel to top before washing. I washed mine in warm and threw them in the dryer with the rest of my laundry this morning to test for shrinkage, I’d say they lost about an inch which is okay by me. Also, although they are about 40 inches unstretched they were only a couple of inches longer than my 30 inch legs when I put them on (I think this is true of most socks). The next shot shows how they fit after shrinking…
just a tiny bit shorter
This is different from the previous purple longsocks we had…
previous purple on top, new purple on the bottom
So far they have arrived in black, purple, natural & red…
it is a true bright red
this is the same red they come in for the 36 inch and 100 inch as well, I’ll get those pages updated later, for now I’ve agreed to work a little fill in shift at the bookstore which should be fun, it will help remind me why I started my own business ~:)

    oh, yeah…’kita, do the new purples more resemble the blacks in feel and stretch and such? they look more like them in these pics… i thought the old purples were a little itchy, too…plus kinda loose… :)

  8. amazoniangoddess Says:

    go for the 50 inchers, george! i’m around your height, and they’re just long enough for my feet and legs, with a little room around the knees for bendy purposes. :)

  9. George Says:

    Been waiting for these to try for sleeping – cold feet & legs. I’m pretty well 6 ft. tall but now wonder if these might be too short based on your trial……
