Rob Brydon on Long Socks


*** IMPORTANT - FLESH WARNING - NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED ***


Rob Brydon is clearly an advocate for the long manly sock. 

If you are of the same persuasion but feel this is not something you would like to purchase in public, then socksock has the answer. You can purchase from us in total privacy - we will not reveal your identity to anyone, and all socks will arrive in unmarked, discreet grey post bags to protect them from prying eyes and awkward explanations.

Our long sock suggestions include:

The Wigwam Base Camp Fusion Knee Length Sock (which we suspect was the actual sock Rob Brydon wore on QI on account of it being long and black, but also because it repels moisture, has merino wool softness and a cushiony sole.)

Or 

The Wigwam Iron Man Long, Run Pro Knee Length - a lightweight white sock, which repels moisture and prevents blisters and includes a side vent, mesh breather panels to enhance air flow and a foot hugging fit which extends up the leg and over the calf for enhanced circulation.

But if you would prefer something a little more risque, take a look at these babies...

Flysafe socks
Commando Socks
Smartwool Ski Socks
Smartwool Snowboard Socks

They will all provide you with that long sock security you crave, whilst adding a little adventure to your sock wearing.

Harry, Caroline and Socks - a Love Story

Lovebirds Harry and Caroline
break up and make up
over sock disagreement.
On the 27th January, it became public knowledge that Harry Styles and Caroline Flack had separated. It was not a mutual decision, as printed in some newspapers; but apparently was a result of Caroline repeatedly wearing Harry's Wigwam Moose Crew socks without asking.  

The couple have long been known to wear each other's socks, but according to a well-known celebrity magazine, Harry found his  Wigwam Moose Crew socks with holes in and he blamed Caroline for excessive wearing. He told her, ‘I still love you, but my socks are no longer available to you.’ 

Caroline has apparently been telling her friends: “We speak almost every day. I miss him. The socks are still there. It might not be over for good.”

And now, on valentine's day, Caroline is reported to have ordered a brand new pair of  Wigwam Weather Warrior Knee Length as a make-up present. 

The Wigwam Moose Crews
at the centre of the
argument between
Harry and Caroline
A source close to Caroline has said, “Caroline never wanted to wear Harry's socks, because she knew deep down they wouldn’t last. But she is hoping that the Wigwam Weather Warrior Knee Length will make up for her mistakes. They are ideal for boots, they have temperature balancing fibres with merino wool softness, fortified shin and instep and are cushiony all over. Harry likes nothing better than a technically avanced boot sock which will allow his feet to stay cool, dry and comfortable throughout the entire day."

Caroline certainly won’t give up on Harry, or his socks, without giving it her best shot.
