Actually I suppose we could call them Corgi corgi socks, and they’re exclusively available at Selfridges in London, in homage to the Queen’s Silver Jubilee this year.
Did you know that Corgi socks are now available in XL and XXL sizes in selected styles on our website?They’re available in both men’s and women’s, and we even have Factory Special assortments. These sizes are often hard to find at retailers, and we didn’t want those of you who are especially well endowed in the foot department to miss out. And, of course, the other thing is, with Extra Large and Extra Extra Large sizes, you get more Corgi for the same price:)
As Corgi sock addicts ourselves, we were greatly impressed by the way Glenn O’Brien, GQ Magazine’s Style Guy, solved this reader’s problems. Corgi socks come in a variety of sizes too.
A thank you note from Benjamin Spain…
This past season I received the ultimate in luxury accessory gifts – personalized/initialed Corgi socks from Chris himself! These one of a kind socks were made the old-fashioned way, on one of the oldest machines in the factory. It was no surprise that they were bright pink, Chris knows me too well. I was very excited at the thought of wearing them on the next day of cooler weather in Los Angeles. On a chilly day (50 degrees, remember this is southern California), I donned my bright new initial socks with my chestnut brogues and rolled-up jeans, and went out to ‘be seen.’ I only made it as far as the coffee shop, located on the ground floor of my building, before a fellow customer commented on my ‘dope’ socks. Soon after I had a tenant of my building lift the leg of my jeans, to get a better view, as I waited in line for my morning java. After a few more smiles and ‘nice socks’ comments I was on my way to the park to enjoy my coffee and daily newspaper. I got a few double takes on the way to the park and overheard a few whispers of ‘check out his socks.’ At the park I found a nice bench in the sun and happily crossed my legs, showing off all the initials as I read the paper and drank my coffee. In the hour and half at the park I got a number of comments/compliments. By day’s end, I was impressed at how overall comfortable the socks were. I have worn them a number of times since and they continue to draw plenty of attention. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a very unique, fun and quality gift for someone special or simply wants to spoil themself. Thanks again Chris!!
From Welt am Sonntag (“World on Sunday”), Sunday edition of Germany’s national newspaper Die Welt:
Before you all rush off to Google Translator, I’ll tell you what I found there: “Excuse me, did you check what the foot”.
It must mean something on those lines anyway. I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere too, if someone less linguistically challenged than me would care to share it?
I do know what the article is saying though.
It’s saying Corgi socks are the best of all those tested.
