Pirates And Crusaders…The New Men’s Socks
To be honest, these are thinner than the usual Sock Dreams styles that I am used to, but it’s still cold here and I’m sure I’ll be greatful for that thin-ness come spring.
They are like dress socks, but with a rebellious flair that the boss never needs to know about. They are quite comfortable, fit my 9’s nicely and would fit quite a few larger sizes as well. They stay up okay, the real test will be when I wear them with shorts in warmer weather. They’re called men’s socks, but as most know, I consider a good number of the Sock Dreams styles gender-neutral so these would look just as smashing on the female stem.
These were a bit thicker, but not much…
…and they have a 13 hidden on their heels
They will go all the way up to the knee, but I like them about mid-calf.
Good, quality socks they are, something I’d buy even if I wasn’t in the sock biz.
(By the way, thank you very much Shelleopard for the boots seen in the second pic!)

I just got my over the knee highs and they are wonderful! I got them a day after my birthday very fast delivery service! My birth was on the 16th of this month (Feb-16th-Thursday) and they arrived on the 17th. (Friday) I ordered them maybe a day or so ago. I believe on the 15th or 14th. I was surprised they came so fast. Thank you Sock Dreams! *shows off her feet and legs with pride!*

I love that 13 on the socks. That’s a nice touch. All I need now is a man…..

Are those a men’s size 9 or a women’s? I’m collecting pirate and skull socks to give to my sister and she’d love these. She wears a women’s size 9 1/2

Bsti wears a men’s 9, I believe a women’s 9.5 would be quite comfy in them too…

Oh, I love those men’s Pirate socks! I was wondering if the thigh high Pirate socks for girls would fit my legs. My biggest part of my thigh is 21″, my calf is 14″ at the largest part, and my legs are 28″ long…And my shoe size is 6 1/2. *Crosses fingers*

anon, what’s your OTK measurement? Say, about two inches above your knee?
February 8th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
About 15 inches.

Ohh! Thank you! I’m bouncing in my chair now!

YAY!!!! What a treat to get a post from Bsti. Those look so good on you!

I’d say they’ll fit you, then. My legs are about 17″ at that point, and they pinched me due to their woven pattern (think the way argyles’ woven patterns cause less stretch). I scooted mine down below the knee (where it’s about 14″), and they fit fine there, with a little stretch on the pattern. :) as soon as we get these back in stock, i’ll be doing a full review of them.

Yup, it’s official! on the main socks page, alphabetically, is an actual “Men’s socks” section. K. Bell has a nice selection they just introduced and I’ll be ordering some of those shortly…
