Yes, it's a thing.
When I was doing my very accidental research, these are some of the better socks which I found:
Darn Tough Vermont- these are some of the best of the best socks. Besides great products the people who work there are very friendly and if you did not, you should go to their website and check some of their socks.. they have quite a lot of options to choose from, so you will probably find something that is right for you.
Stance- more of a fashion sock, but their cotton quality is very good and they are very comfortable. They by far have the most fashionable designs, these are the socks you want to show off.
Pantherella- Superb dress socks, again some of the best ones in the market. These are very high quality and premium, and also feature a number of options to choose from the materials used. Another thing to note, this is a old company with a lot of experience
Bombas- Originally featured on the Show Shark tank, these seem to pack quality and technology pretty well. Also they seem to be doing something really great where they make a special line of socks which is not available to the public, but is passed to homeless shelters and to those who are in need. One of those socks is donated for each pair you buy. Very classy and stylish. Don't own a pair, yet.
Corgi- another well respected company which dates all the way back from 1892. I believe they also produce Cashmere socks, as well as Merino wool.
Lindner- same story, I believe these even feature Alpaca wool and silk.
Just like many things, even socks can be luxurious. Although they are just a piece of clothing, a great amount of work, detail and technology can be involved. Many of these companies sell Cashmere, Silk, Merino wool and other materials which are premium.. and come at a premium price.
I personally would say that socks are the most underrated piece of clothing, and the difference a good pair of socks makes with a good suit, dress shoes and pants.. it's noticeable and those who pay attention will see the difference right away. But at the end of the day, they might be one of those elements which some people would call "too much" and would call you crazy for spending over 50 bucks on socks.
You'd be amazed to learn that different materials, amount of cushion, thickness and weight all have a different purpose, pros and cons. I found it interesting to be quite honest, as I do with many things in which a lot of work is put into. Many little things the normal people don't worry about can be special and premium, even pens.
I wanted to bring some awareness to the premium side of socks. Hopefully someone does check these out, reads the story of each of these companies and learns something new. If you know some companies, tell me because I'm listening. Where are you fellow sock fanatics.. or am i the only one.
This is one long ass post about socks..
