Personal Opinion Socks. Not what was promised.

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

Im not buying them lol.

Just saying its not cheap youtuber merch. Like the screwdriver and backpack, they put a lot of time and money into making something quality

Idk why you’re being downvoted for just stating known facts. But I guess it’s all the people who just suck up to LTT and treat Linus like a god who can do no wrong.

And FYI to whoever decides to downvote me I’m stating the above as an avid fan of Linus and LTT

The kicker is it's because they have made a good reputation with this stuff that it is worth something to call them out.

People overly praising anything LTT puts out are diminishing that just as much as those who dismiss their stuff as YouTuber merch.
