Certainly anyone of my vintage or from the previous generation will remember these socks growing up. They always had a grey body with natural color cuffs, heels, and toes. And the red stripe. Men wore them working, hunting, and fishing - and on cold winter days around the house when only a wood stove blazing could take the drafty chill off a room.
