Long cashmere sock dilemma, please advise

[MrsSeanBean]

I have been debating with myself about whether or not to get these (in charcoal). Brora sale ends tomorrow so it's 'last chance saloon' tonight.

I liked them when full price. Now that they are half price, I think I probably should get them. However, I am still tring to be more sensible than I used to be hence the deliberation.

What do you think? Would they work under biker boots with a mini, or are there better bargains still to be had?

£39 for socks!! either your mad or way too rich.

OK I respect the fact that not everyone may want / be able to pay that. But please let me know if you like them (regardless of cost). I always try to be impartial when giving an opinion regardless of the cost. I wouldn't go on a thread and say 'Only £xxx - you must be mad or way too poor).

And I'm not having a go at you by the way nightshade, but whenever I post a thread, I always seem to get an ear bashing about the price of stuff!

£39 for socks?! I'd expect them to do the washing up for that price.
You wouldn't be able to see them under biker boots, would you?

Well as styled on the site, they peep out over the top of (mid length) boots, which is the length I have.

I think the navy ones are quite ugly - but the black ones just look like black long socks and as such are quite alright.
If you like them, get them.

They look really lovely, but I don't think I could bring myself to spend £39 on a pair of socks! Also, being cashmere, souldn't they wear throuh quicker?

They're lovely! And I've picked up some Brora sale stuff over the years which has lasted really well - although I'd be concerned about cashmere socks - I wear my bedsocks out each year but they don't have any nylon in them.

Would you wear them over tights as per the picture?

I always imagine you as a Toast/Margaret Howell/Brora type woman so can see that look working well on you.

I can't see any navy ones. I was looking at the charcoal colour.

I think they are mixed with nylon for lonegvity. The tights are anyway, and have impressive lasting power, as well as being super-soft.

I love Margaret Howell tracey, you must be v perceptive :)

Yes over tights...

Do it - I think it'll look good on you

And Brora is excellent quality. I was in the Bath store yesterday stroking all the new spring stuff - such pretty colours.

Tracey thank goodness, a fellow Brora aficionado! I haven't dared look at the spring stuff yet. Lots of bargains in the sale this year though, better than normal..?

abdnhiker these are 75% cashmere & 25% nylon
:)

ok, they are very nice but not £39 nice.

I looked at those.

Do it! My calves are not svelte enough at present. I want to live vicariously through you. Go go go.

Yes - I think once they do the second round of reductions it gets interesting.

I am coveting the cropped cardigan for spring in petal and some lovely rose patterned knickers for you know - wandering round the house at weekends

I just (tried to) buy but Brora website went very wierd and not sure if it's worked or not... Oh dear, maybe an omen. I'd better check email to see if I have received an order confirmation.

Dirtymartini my calves are not exactly stick like... but here goes anyway ;)

It worked Phew... they are on their way. :)

Yeay - now let us know if they look good

Will do! Might even post a profile pic. I've realised that my pics are very out of date.

All my interesting posts seem to be leg related!!

They are handwash only. That's a no in my book, apart from the fact at £39 I could buy several pairs elsewhere.

I know Bunbaker - but I always bung handwash items in the machine on handwash cycle.

Ooh, lovely. Will keep you so toasty, and really good reduction.

I bought some last year and I wore through the heels within a matter of weeks. Won't be buying those again!
