Well made socks. Super heavy.

Irwin - US

Like others I found these seemed big and ungainly out of the post, but after a cold water wash and overnight hang to dry they were perfect. Make sure to line them up and use a shoe-horn, but I hiked ten miles in them last week and I can say they are not only stylish but very comfortable.

Superb, rare quality product and looking forward to their long life

As others stated, these are big and wide. After warm wash in Woolite and no heat in the dryer and final air dry, they are not so long in foot but still wide. I tried them with four different WPG shoes (Brit ammo boots, Brit officer ammo boots, Brit repro plimsols and French 1916 boots) all size 10 for my 9.5W US feet and they fit great. Sadly, they are too thick for my US 10 chaplis sandals. Just too bulky to fit without squeezing. Chaplis would have to be 11US I think to fit but for me would be too large with any other socks and useless barefoot.
Very warm and and happy with them notwithstanding the chaplis fit.

Just what it says. Wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. The preservative on them will cause your feet to hurt. Use a mild detergent or woolite type soap. Rinse and lay flat. Once that is done, they start to soften up and become very comfy. A great alternative to the itchy wool/unknown fibre MOD issue

Fast delivery! The socks are mighty good. I dunno about shrinkage or sizing, but nobody will complain about the socks being too small!

Aside from that their excellent product and will keep my feet nice and toasty through winter!

Mcginness - GB

Thick and warm. Ideal to change into in the evenings after walking in your chapplies.

intriguing, this insulation by means of the double layer build of the socks; seems to have worked comfortably with the desert heat of the L.R.D.G. as well as the rocky cold of the Brittish India Khyber Pass climate.

Moseley - US

EXCELLENT SERVICE. THIS IS MY SECOND BUY OF THESE SUBSTANTIAL SOCKS! BUY THEM UP WHEN YOU CAN. JUST AS IF ISSUED FOR SERVICE WITH THE BRITISH INDIAN ARMY IN THE NORTHWEST FRONTIER.

GREGORIO - US

Absolutely Recommendable. For the bush, for the cold & the wet weather. Personally, I use them with rubber boots: Excellent

Rutledge - US

These are huge!! really great quality though. the color and weave are exceptional!

Hoida - US

Very fast service. Really like the socks, which are kind of a leg warmer they are so large on me. I need to decide how to wash them so that they fit better. Another great WPG product. Where else can you find things like this.+++++++

NYLAND - US

FAST SERVICE. UK NORTHWEST SOCKS ARE VERY WELL MADE BOTH IN WEAVE AND WEIGHT. THEY LOOK LIKE GENUINE ISSUE. THANKYOU!

GREGORIO - US

... yes they are fantastic

Schatull - DE

As per previous, ordered the medium and they are perfect for a size 11 to 11 1/2 US shoe size.

They will be fantastic for winter socks, whether lounging around at home or when off in the great outdoors...

Thoroughly recommended

Griffiths - AU

These are the warmest socks I've ever worn...fantastic!

Not to mention top-notch quality

However, the sizes are very large...as a guide I ordered the Large size (which fitted me in the UK Khaki Full Hose), but are way to big for me in the frontier socks.

I wear a size 11 US shoe as a reference point; I suspect the next size down will be a perfect fit so have already ordered a few pairs

Griffiths - AU

A little to large for my feet but they will shrink. Fast shipping from Dubai, but the dutch mail was very slow.

Riedel - NL

Great liner for my hiking shoes

Rueegg - CH

Killer weave, like hand-woven by your granny. Simply grand.

Kesler - US

Great socks, well made, definitely worth the money. Fast shipping.

Piehel - US

These socks are the perfect complement to the desert boots - just plain excellent!

Field - GB

These are a great item, very well made. A tad large on my size 8 foot, but perhaps it will shrink in the wash.

Donovan - US

Good, tight weave, thick wool, well made and fast delivery. As elsewhere pointed-out, made a bit large and this will accomodate shrinkage. Many thanks.

Pappas - US

Good thick, quilted weave. Very authentic and sized a little large to account for shrinkage. Completes the Desert Rat look. Also, very quick shipping.

D Brown - USA

I like these socks. I'm going to get two more pairs.

Devincenzi - US

Terrific socks that meet all requirements for authenticity and demands of walking out of the bush! Unbelievably quick delivery!

McGrath - US

Jerry, these are wonderful, and go great with your new sandals!

An excellent pair of socks! I primarily bought them for when I go camping in Iceland as it can get cold at night. I have a feeling they are going to work well!
