If The Sock Fits

Moaney, but not as moaney as yesterday.

How come Cotton Traders and Atlas For Men have clothes in sizes up to 4XL but their socks and shoes only go up to size 11?  Big men have big feet.  In Thunderthighs' case 12H aka 13, so their biggest socks are tight on him.
FiB  M&M direct (online store) do 13 worth a look; sometimes TK Max. We have the same problem here x
Bentonbag   Thanks FiB, I've just ordered some size 12-14 socks from M&M direct and will let you know how he gets on with them. 
Mrs Quilt  We buy Pringle soft tops for Mr Quilt.  Boundary Mills stock them.   
They don't always have them in. I'm not sure whether they go beyond an 8-11 though. M&S soft tops were hopeless they shrunk to being tight around the ankles.
Bentonbag  Fester is into soft tops now.  For some reason his sock drawer is always full with pristine socks while he wears the same holey stiff pair for days/weeks.  I'm just going to have to get a bit Edie Pegden and throw them out regardless.
The Chick  Marks and Spencer’s do a size 12-14 in socks
Bentonbag  I shall drop heavy hints to my sister re birthday gifts (boring but useful) she seems to spend a lot of time in M&S.  
Pink Kitchen  Remember there is the M&S outlet at Byker - the reductions are normally pretty good!

  1. In our experience M&S socks shrink noticeably. Pringle soft tops at Boundary Mills are no more expensive and don't constrict his ankles!
