I was initially skeptical about buying shadow stripe dress socks from Gentlemen's Gazette for $50+ per pair. However, I made my first purchase when they offered a free pair with a purchase of three or more pairs. After several months of repeated wear and many miles of use traversing Boston, I can attest these are the highest-quality socks I have ever worn. The quality of craftsmanship is unmatched - from the quality of fabric, stitching, and toe box construction to the depth of color and vivid accent of the shadow stripe. The socks are very comfortable and feel like you are not wearing socks; they stay up all day even after walking several miles in the city - an unexpected benefit during the hot Boston summer. These are the highest quality socks I have owned - superior to Nobile, Pantherella, and others. As an informed buyer of value and quality classic menswear garments, the key metric to consider is the item's "cost per wear" over its lifespan. Given its construction quality, this product offers great value, classic style, an excellent fit, and elegance. I highly recommend it. Additionally, I have a few thoughts on the service experience with Gentlemen's Gazette. I followed up my sock purchase with the following: - Roberto Ugolini Firenze - 4 Rosso Extrait de Parfum - 2 ml sample - Roberto Ugolini Firenze - Oxford - Eau de Parfum - 2 ml sample When I received the samples, I noticed that both atomizers weren't working properly. I then emailed Gentlemen's Gazette to request a resolution. To my surprise, Raphael, the founder, called me less than 12 hours later. He apologized for the issue and committed to "making it right." During our conversation, he suggested I run the atomizer under hot water to help with any product settling. I took his advice, and they both worked perfectly! It is not often the founder of a company reaches out to a customer to help resolve their issue. This was a classy move and certainly made a positive impression. It is clear he takes pride in the product line and cares about the customer experience. I took note and felt compelled to write this review. The fragrances are terrific too. 4 Rosso is my new favorite - elegant, long-lasting, sophisticated.
