Dear Oliver, thanks for your honest review! We believe that the proper size of socks is important in a good fit, and we can feel the difference in size. 1. We are all different in what we value and appreciate. In my experience, there is not a sensible blend of poly and cotton for example. I would always rather wear 100% cotton socks as they make my feet feel more comfortable and I sweat less. 2. More expensive socks do not automatically last longer. For example a fine pair of silk or cashmere socks will likely last not as long as a pair of cotton socks. Also a pair of fine cotton socks with thin yarn will likely wear out faster than thick yarn cotton socks, even though the thicker yarn may be made of lower raw cotton material. If you want o compare apples to apples, you have to compare the same knit and yarn thickness. For me personally, a thick pair of socks is simply unattractive. Other do not like thin socks, it is simply a matter of preference. 3. Every person has different feet, calluses, bones and shoes . A rough area may be all it takes to result in a hole. 4. We are a brand that stands behind our quality and wants our customers to be happy, and we have replaced socks when customers were not happy with them. That being said, our main concern when it comes to socks is not just longevity. We want socks that stay up, are comfortable to wear and come in great color combinations that makes it easy and stylish for you to combine them. Given these factors we want the best, and longest yarn quality we can get, but there are definitely socks out there that last longer than ours. 5. When you buy from us, you can rest assure that we repair or replace a product if something goes wrong or wears out too quickly. Other companies do not have such an approach. I have never found a pair of $12-18 socks that stayed up on my calves, so the longevity factor for me was a moot point as I would not wear the socks. 6. Maybe we will launch a sock that is made to last as long as possible, but it will have to be a thicker sock, and it will have some non-natural materials. You see, it is all a compromise. Last but not least, if you are unhappy with the socks, let us know and we try to make it right.
13 pairs of Fort Belvedere socks delivered today. I am impressed. Thank you. Now, maybe I have a chance to keep up with the style of the European lady I am with :-)
Nice video! I bought 3 of the Fort Belvedere socks about a month or so ago now. They are some of my favorite socks and my 1st over the calf socks. I love how thin they are, but I'll have to see how they hold up. I just washed them for the 1st time, so we'll see how they go with pilling/holes developing.
If you like Fort Belvedere, just buy the socks. Those guys work hard all the time making videos. Helpful & Free Info. They are really not that expensive. So, I would just support them.
I enjoy the topic, but I just couldn't finish watching it after about 1 minute. Good luck with improving your skills. You're young and on the right path.
@@caffeinatedtailor Perhaps old enough to be removed or replaced with a more developed one? I happened across this one. Any links of newer ones you'd suggest? Thanks.
Unless I'm asked a question I don't often respond to comments. This one vexes me. Hence it is now an exception. I can't decipher the subtext with the limited lexicon you've provided me. This collection of majuscules and minuscules leaves a little too much opportunity for interpretation, with only the author knowing for certain the true nuance. I'd appreciate an elaboration of this missive; if you would indulge me.

Thanks for the video. Found the volume was really low- though I know audio equipment can be expensive.
The carbon footprint per wear is very low if they are durable and versatile
