Sure somebody that's just blown £160k on gun ain't going to worry about £425 on socks!

Me on the other hand  ........

While I appreciate they will both give you a feel of luxury and pleasure, however, all your doing really is either moving £160K that you don't use or your Mrs has gone shopping again. . . . I ain't got a problem with 1 scenario but the other I wouldn't sleep

Hand knitted and produced by a cottage industry of vastly experienced knitters working from home, each pair of socks takes up to three weeks to knit 

So in fact these people are producing a pair of socks every three weeks. Seems to me that the folk making them are extremely lazy or incredibly inefficient. And assuming they're being paid £425 every three weeks so that's £140 a week. Assuming a thirty-five hour week that's £4 an hour. And someone said that wasn't sweatshop made?

My taste may be rusticated, but that is an ugly stock figure and tone. Far too garish. The socks look great but at that price I would want an attractive young blonde to knit them in situ on my feet.

Maybe there on offer 😂

or there including the time spent shearing processing and spinning the wool 

or there’s some poetic license in the advertising 🤭

You can choose your own wood it’s all part of the experience 😉

the stock picture is for the sporter aimed at the young trendy market 🤭

that’s why it takes 3 weeks 😂

Not quite. The world's gone in a direction where most of the wealth is in the hands of a few. They clearly don't know what to spend their money on. Veteran's charities, the homeless and cancer care would be but three of my suggestions.

Children’s hospice is always top of my list....
