Before I found the Fort Belvedere socks, I always had issues finding socks that would stay up and not drop down to my ankles. Now that I have Fort Belevedere socks, that is no longer an issue. I've had OTC socks before, but they are poorer quality and always leave marks around my calves. Fort Belevedere socks have a really wide band which make them very comfortable. The striping in the socks is awesome because it allows them to pair with more items of clothing. I really enjoy how stylish they make me feel and how many compliments I get when people get a peek of them. The only problem with them, is their price point. $40 a pair is steep for someone like me trying to build a better wardrobe. Because of this, my Fort Belvedere's are somewhat reserved for special occasions and I'll be stuck wearing the poorer quality socks for work most of the time. You get what you pay for though, so I'd highly recommend trying a pair for yourself.

I purchased many socks in a variety of colors from this series. They are well made and are very comfortable. As always, a great product from Fort Belvedere.

Socks stay on as they are above the calf. the 2 colors are nice to add accent to the outfit.

We're thrilled you liked them, Yuval! The ribbed shadow stripe effect works well with all kinds of fabrics so it is very versatile. You could also try and match it with our Fort Belvedere bowties if you haven't yet! ;)

Fantastic socks.... I have an event at a very special golf club... wearing our red team blazer and navy slacks... what could go better in my tassle loafers than Navy Blue and Red Shadow Striped Socks... fabulous look and exceptional quality product. My first pair... definitely not my last. Well done Fort Belvedere.

I have been most pleased with these OTC socks purchase. The socks hold up very well throughout a whole business day of 8-12 hours of wear. As for cleaning and care, they hold up in a delicate cycle wash followed by air drying, and they retain their normal elasiticity. Furthermore, they are comfortable to wear during the hot Texas summer and the more saturated colors combines well with summer suiting wear, such as cream or ivory suits. The collar-clip is well made and works well to support French to mid-spread collars, particularly of off-the-shelf dress shirts. There is a learning curve to adjusting the hardware to ensure proper positioning and elegance, moreover, it holds up the tie for long periods of wear, 8-12 hours without slipping/sliding.

Upon watching Sven's video about socks and how to pair them, I became interested in trying these out. They are really amazing. The quality is noticeably superior and they indeed keep their hold instead of sliding down, without being uncomfortable in a full day of wear. One caveat: the socks are shrink to fit, so they will become more snug after the first laundry cycle. I'm a size 10 who usually buy size 11 shoes for comfort. Hence my choice for the Large size socks. They felt loose during the first wear, but are great after being washed and dried for the first time.
