I love patterned socks, and these are just excellent.

My only problem with patterned socks is that they cost a silly amount of money. Socks come in large bags of incredible quantity from Costco. I’ve seen some places asking for $20+/pair and I could never justify that.

So true. I jump on deals whenever I see them though. Slightly related, I’m currently deciding on which animal oven mitts to get...

That’s it, I think I got most of my pattern socks on clearance sales where they were priced at basically the same as regular ones.

A nice alternative is to check eBay; I found a seller from South Korea that sells a lot of decent patterns for around $15 for 5 pairs, price fluctuates depending on the style of sock and currencies and whatnot. They’re very decent, wear the socks daily for over a year now although some pairs are starting to wear now. At this price, though, I can use them daily and not worry about wearing them out since they’ll see a ton of use.

I always have to search for deals. Try needing to buy big and tall ones so they don't rip, that is a real struggle to find on sale.

If you’re big and tall it’s just difficult to find good stuff in general, just because if one of the neck, sleeves, or chest fits very well it’s more than likely the other two don’t fit so well. The socks from eBay that I referred to definitely wouldn't work, since they are relatively small socks.

I'll agree with that. Also with me it seems either it's long enough or the sleeves are long enough, never both.
