Matching on two levels there, @Mad Dog - NATO and helmet, socks and do(ugh)nuts*

Strong game, but the watch and socks don’t really match… then again a Speedy goes with anything…

OK…attempting to do a better job regarding matchy/matchy/matchy/matchy/matchy/matchy [with red and black] for socks/watch/watch band/bike/bike helmet/bike shoes…!!!YEARS OF ACADEMY TRAINING!!!…headed out on my fixed gear…

We are currently enjoying a rare heatwave and I wear shorts every day and never socks, nothing worse than visiting the beach with a suntan apart from the white area at the bottom of your legs where the socks have been 🤦

You young men are sooo image conscious 😉

Cool…thanks, man! 👍

And now for something not-so-perfect…I’ve attempted to match my green mil spec socks [and my green mil spec NOMEX flight jacket] with my new Omega mil green polyester NATO…!!!NO JOY!!!…all three greens are different…clashy/clashy/clashy! 😲

LATE ENTRY: This is a complete disaster and I may get banned from OF!

ANOTHER LATE ENTRY: On a positive note, the watch matches my mil spec flight boots, motorcycle license plate frame, and motorcycle tires! So…maybe I won’t get banned from OF!

My dude, we are cyclists; don't make their heads explode with our sock game. 😁

Socks should be solid in color, and made of natural materials - preferably not cotton. 🫨😝

The number of socks and more importantly the color/texture variations of them are so much less than the watches I have and the variations alike that no further contribution is possible to the thread ::facepalm1::

When I started working in the 60s/70s, some of us wilder and more expressive (indeed flamboyant) suit wearers could buy and wear socks with ‘clocks’, a discreet pattern on the side of the calf - to enhance the grey, black or navy that we otherwise wore.

I mean, c’mon, the 60s were a happening time 😀

Rather than to start a new thread called Watches, Socks, and Ties. How about this?
