About the same as the bootsocks, not super soft like some, but thanks to all that cotton they soften nicely with time and washings.

Those are very cute! How soft are they?

no, they are exactly the same except with a higher cotton content. We were supposed to get a longer version (as seen in the middle image) but in the end, that was a no go ~:(
We might try dying some, but with everything that is going on right now (store opening around april, new site being worked on ect…) I don’t see us taking on such a major project, BUT my EG rep is looking into getting us the original pippy in more colors ~:D

Are these longer than the EG’s were? More stretchyer? Well there be more colors in the works. I ordered a pair anyway because they look great. Thanks ;-)

no, not EG Smith. The company that was responsible for EG Smith products up until last summer when EG changed hands to the folks responsible for B.ella, Nouvella & 2 Brothers Organics. So the former company contracted matching versions for us through the same mill. It may not have been my best move, but given the information I had at the time it appeared to be.
And yes, much more goodness on the way ~:)
I’ll post about the tights soon, there certainly is much to be said about them…
at the end of the month I have something really awesome to show off, but it isn’t something any of us can wear, unless we put it on a t-shirt, okay, we will be able to wear it but not yet.

OMG the private label!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m not sure I’m quite getting what’s going on though - so E.G. Smith now makes a series of items (tights, OTKs, etc.) exclusively for SockDreams under your label? All the while they’ll keep doing their own thing and offering their own stuff as usual?
Don’t feel so bad about the Pipi socks. I never tried them, so what do I know, but I’m just so excited about all the other items (esp. after that peek in the last post) as I’m sure many of us are! I can hardly wait to see what else is coming! And it seems that there are several other options for people who like thick slouchable socks… Plus where would we be if ALL our dreams came true? That would be a boring world, me thinks. Then we’d have nothing to whine about and bug you and where’s the fun in that? ;-P
Again, congratulations. Hope the private label exceeds your (and our) expectations =).
