A while ago one of my brothers told me about these socks from a company called Darn Tough. He said they were the most comfortable socks he had owned and had this great lifetime warranty. Unfortunately they were also very expensive (around $30 a pair). A few weeks ago I got really sick of wearing cheap, uncomfortable socks for work and sprang for a few pairs of Darn Tough socks, as well as a pair for my wife.
Ho. Ly. Cow. I don’t think I can ever go back to uncomfortable socks. As my brother said when I told him “it’s really expensive when you realize that everyday items don’t have to be garbage.”
But I think it’s been a good realization. My wallet finally gave up the ghost last week, so I decided to apply this same principle and buy a Saddleback Leather wallet. I’ve been wanting to buy a bag from them for years, so I figured a wallet is a good place to start. I love it. The feel, the look, the quality. I’m sold on their stuff, too. But more importantly I am sold on buying high quality things in general.
