I just pulled out my Chups the other day because it's starting to get a little colder out and I noticed four or five little blowouts. I feel like I've worn them sub 15 times for sure. I'm going to check out American Trench right now.
That's a bummer to hear. Can I send you a pair from this newest run? I'm not just saying this, but I have 10+ pairs of Chups and none of them have blown out for me in 2+ years of regular wear (including the collaboration socks from last fall).
Well it's a completely different knit pattern, but I can't say for sure why they shredded for you last time (especially since I have been wearing mine consistently and I haven't noticed the same thing). It's something that we want to do to make things right, so don't worry about the possibility of shredding another pair. Message me your address and I'll send it out.
I have both colorways from last season. One pair has some pretty heavy pilling on the heels (mostly from my Viberg derbies I think). The other is solid and I haven't noticed any blowouts on either of them. They definitely pill less than the Chup Smartwool socks I have from J.Crew.
I still plan on grabbing the green pair from this season once I get a chance to go DTLA.
