the prices seem a little big high, sure they are probably some good material, but still. And sure you get to save money if you get a subscription, but its not much. I mean sure its convenient, but its just socks/underwear/tshirts, its not something people splurge on

  Calf Socks - $10/pair
  Knee Socks - $13/pair
  Sneaker Socks - $10/pair
  Silk Socks - $27/pair
  Boxers 1st type - $45/pair
  Boxers 2nd type - $39/pair
  Briefs 1st type - $32/pair
  Briefs 2nd type - $24/pair
  Tshirts 1st type - $47/pair
  Tshirts 2nd type - $55/pair

I don't get this either...I seems like the most they send you is 3 pairs of socks every 14 days? Something seems a bit off there.

This is why this sort of thing would never work for me...My routine when I get home is:

Come in the door, pet the dog. Set the laptop down on the table, grab a beer from the refrigerator, walk out to the back yard, sit on the patio, kick my socks off, and start playing fetch with the dog. My socks end up in a pile on the patio and end up getting thrown away. If this place was 7 socks for 7 dollars delivered weekly I would sign up today.

It is tough to justify the cost for this, especially when i can go to walmart and get ~10 pairs of black socks for $4.

Maybe this is not aimed at nerds? (I'm thinking not).

Cool idea though. I'm with the person below here that says they get their shirts from woot. So do I. Woot is so amazingly perfect, I wish they did dress clothes as well...there are no choices to make, yes, or no. That is it. You say yes and you have a shirt at your door (or in my case, my office) the next day.

I can't ever see myself spending more than $1/pair of socks. That just seems ridiculously frivolous.

Who cares? There's already a market for expensive socks. The question is - does that market value the convinience of getting them delivered to their door.

If it was $1 per pair including shipping I could justify it..so like...$30 a month for fresh socks every day.
