Purple vs purple

Today I wore the purple bootsocks with the purple long leg warmers which I held up with two different sock garters. These leg warmers are such an intense purple, the kind that looks different under different lighting and nearly glows in some, I had listed it as indigo because to me it’s more than just purple (didn’t we just have the when is purple not purple discussion?) but today I got a letter from someone who wants to return a pair because they don’t look the least bit blueish to them and so do not really qualify as indigo, point made & taken, I changed the page and added some new shots. Then there are the purple bootsocks, which next to these I couldn’t make look purple for anything, well, not the right purple, it’s sort of a grapey purple but just looks reddish in comparison. We won’t even get into the new purple longsocks I got today, it’s a whole different purple entirely, I’ll show you tomorrow. These leg warmers, they are nice and long, nearly 30 inches, but they don’t stay up as well as I’d like (the never ending saga of what does and does not stay up), I used my sock garters and decided to compare the two black ones I currently offer, the 1 inch wide are thinner and stretchier, I don’t like them as well as the 3/4 inch which is thicker and just plain nicer looking (the button holes are nearly invisible), I think it stays up a bit better too.
As the end of the year approaches we are busier than ever, but still managing to get most orders out within 24 hours. The main reason orders don’t go out within the 24 hours is when we have a question and don’t hear back from the person we write to (I think spam filters are at least partially to blame for this). We ran out of 50 inch socks in pink today but got the 36 inch back in black and got a small batch of them in red too! The kilt socks are back in grey & tan, the cotton striped over the knees are now available in black & grey and orange & white (or ivory, actually I wanted to call it vanilla because they remind me of 50/50 bars) and, finally, the EG Smith original cotton tights arrived in bright red today…
