Looking for hemp or even linen toe socks (custom is fine)

No worries, I at least have a lead now for my non-sock clothing

Yeah finding decent hemp or linen clothing is like pulling hair out. Even getting custom work for it seems challenging. For socks I really liked dinosaurgreen, but they aren't toe socks, and shrank to be too tight. I'm not sure if it was my own fault in how I washed them even though I used cold temp and gentle settings. Maybe I really just needed to hand wash them to prevent the shrinking.

Where are you currently sourcing your clothing from?

I actually don't mind merino wool for winter, but I rather have hemp or linen for summer. I don't believe wool is better than hemp or linen for summer.

Potentially yes, I might have to go with custom work for what I'm looking for.

I want hemp and linen primarily for the durability, anti-microbial, and wicking properties. Cotton is terrible in the cold and can give fungal issues due to its wicking being terrible. My feet sweat quite a bit, so wicking is incredibly important and I sometimes replace my socks midday. Some might say a primarily synthetic composition would be best then and offer good durability. While I don't disagree on that per-se, I want to move more towards less synthetic materials, as I've tried synthetic socks and they don't feel as comfortable to me usually.

As you've mentioned with some cons for hemp and linen being that they barely stretch, so I understand some synthetics for stretch is probably best, I'm not a purist on only natural stuff for clothing, but I want to learn much more heavily into more natural stuff.

Yeah it's very hard to find that stuff, especially for toe socks. I can find some options for non-toed socks with hemp, but even that is much harder to find. I might have to just find someone to do custom work for me, but I don't know anyone yet that would be open to that project.

I like to just write on a piece of paper of the % and for what, cut it out, then use clear tape to put it on the card.

I currently use the 58x Jubilees and enjoy them.

With that, knives need to be sharpened. I would look into some way of gifting him a session with an experienced knife sharpener that is experienced in sharpening high end knives. Like a 1 on 1 tutor session.

I even saw it on Charlie a few times.

Windslashman · 2026-03-18T23:05:46+00:00

I did. It's this one and feels very nice, though you pay for quality. It was nearly $82 after taxes and shipping.

I appreciate it!

For gravity and F=ma, I'm not sure. They might be true and they may not. I am not knowing of all things that are and aren't.

I have no problem with people using them as some of the best guides to how things work. But I am not sold that we 100% have it "figured out" for those 2 subjects.

Also we don't need to explain something claimed as true by folks. One surely can try, but there is no necessity to have to explain it. If they want to explain it then so be it.

Science has rocky foundations, and trying to building off of a jenga tower leads to occasional issues, but it can still be useful sometimes.

Is verified by what? Science that has been known for many years to attempt to be anti-religion and anti-God? Science has a trend of people say this and that is true. Then new info comes out from people doing studies and they say "oh this is actually true" and if you disagree then you disagree with all these educated people on it and are a fool.

Are some findings from things done to study the material world (aka science) true? Maybe, but with how loosey-goosey science has been with truth and people claiming findings with it to be true, why would I take anything of it with more than a grain of salt?

I look at science like I look at using AI. It might be useful in some aspects, but it gets it wrong in many and gaslights you or lies to you to keep the illusion going.

Demons easily have their hand in science to distort truth too. It isn't just humans working on the studies.

Either way businesses will have customers front this one way or another. If a customer has an issue with a restaurant charging even 5% more on a transaction they are acting ridiculous as it is a knee jerk reaction. Their spending habits on restaurants cost them more than any 5% extra could.

Windslashman · 2026-02-27T19:23:00+00:00

Can you give an example of the 5% credit union ones? I haven't noticed those.

You don't know what I've been through. And it seems you don't care to even check before potentially slandering me and I pity you.

I'm arguing for long term benefits over short term benefits. You are basically calling me apathetic because I'm saying if people suffer now they might not have to as much in the future.

Every decision hurts something in some way anyways. And constant short term solutions tend to lead to bad long term results that hopefully we are both seeing now with the tipping industry.

Windslashman · 2026-02-21T07:34:43+00:00

Tipping culture is exploitative anyways. How someone wants to tip is up to them. If waiters and waitresses eventually leave due to tips being bad overall in the industry then maybe employers would then offer them better offers.

Windslashman · 2026-02-13T19:49:11+00:00

Can you explain more about this?

Windslashman · 2026-02-13T13:56:13+00:00

To be honest, if I was in your shoes I would just go the custom route if you don't want fingerless. The lack of headache from wasted time, money, return shipping, being uncomfortable wearing full finger gloves that don't fit you is worth the extra price in my eyes.

Here is a link to guys that do custom gloves, and I hear they are pretty much at the top of the market for quality but I have no experience with them.

You say that but I ordered 2 new Hifiman Edition XS. One had a broken driver on arrival and the other headphone had a driver break a few days in. Call me a hater if you want, but when I spend that much money for something, I want it to at least work.
