Off the wall question...

Last year at the Hunting and Fishing show at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center, there was a booth selling Merino Wool socks. They were a bit pricey as I recall, but I bit, and bought a couple pair as they were so thick. Well, they work great. I've worn them through deer season and two ice fishing excursions to Canada. I'd like to get a couple more pair and I will likely be out of town next weekend. Did anybody else see that booth, and if so, do you know the name of the company? I've Googled til I am blue in the face, and can't find them. They  must have a website...any help out there?

    I had to do a lot of sleuthing, but I finally got a hold of the company and ordered another two pair. They are $35 for two pair, but I can say after a lifetime (I'm 58) of hunting and ice fishing, I have NEVER had such a warm, comfortable pair of socks in my life. I got the 100% Merino Wool undyed.

    And, no, I don't work for them, just sharing an awesome product with fellow ice fishermen.

    No. I asked the guy about that. He said they mostly wholesale their socks to stores, but I've never seen that exact sock anywhere else. Plus they sell them direct at shows...go figure.

    All I know is they are called "The Sox Exchange".  They were at the show last year, will be there this year, and Hamburg the following week. I think they just call them 100% Merino Wool socks. I get the undyed ones - so they are white, thick, long and warm.
