HOM Fil d’ Ecosse Socks – A Mens Clothing Review
June 1, 2010 | 
Author
For all of the men’s clothing reviews I’ve done, this will be the first pair of socks. If you’ve followed my blog for a bit, you likely know that I typically wear a business suit and work long hours.
Key items of my wardrobe, beyond the suit, are finding comfortable underwear, undershirts that stay tucked, fitted dress shirts, and socks that don’t fall down or make my feet sweat. For socks, I often wear CK, GoldToe, Tommy, and a few others. While I’ve reviewed other HOM products, this pair of HOM socks are the first I’ve tried from HOM and were sent to me by my friends at Dead Good Undies.
The HOM Fil d’Ecosse are unlike any socks I own. The socks are incredibly smooth with a bit of a sheen to them and are just a tad sheer. Made from a blend of 94% Cotton and 6% Elastane, the socks were comfortable and stayed up (I hate having to repeatedly pull my socks up). I found the socks to fit my feet well and were breathable (didn’t make my feet stink). The socks come in a one-size style that are to fit feet that are a UK 6-10 or EU 40-45. I wear a size 11-1.5 US (depending on the shoe) and found these to fit my feet well.
The HOM Fil d’Ecosse are availabe in Black (the color I tried) or Navy and just above the ankle there is a small grey HOM logo. I can easily recommend these HOM dress socks to you and are now one of my favorite pairs of socks. The socks are £9.36 (aprx US $13.93) for one pair or £23.83 (aprx US $35.47) for a 3-pack. While they are a bit more expensive than a standard pair of socks, these are certainly a quality dress sock and are a value for the price paid. Check out Dead Good Undies for more colors and styles – including the unique Asymmetrical pair from HOM.

Hom’s First Cotton Micro Brief Review – Classic Style and Comfort
Hom’s First Cotton Micro Brief is a sexy classic micro brief. I was a tad concerned when I first looked at how micro these things were. To my delight, I found the micro brief to be extremely comfortable. The front pouch is a perfect size for comfortably holding your assets and, yippee, there is a full seat in the rear. I really liked how these sat comfortably low on my waist. The waistband is small but is has a folded edge which creates the comfort.
The look of the brief is more of a classic micro brief look – available in black or white – which would make sense since they’re from Hom’s Business range. I tried the black, which I prefer over the white from a sexiness standpoint. As far as the fabric is concerned, the 94% cotton/6% elastane is very soft and comfortable with just enough give to keep you supported buy not restricted. I would recommend the Hom First Cotton Micro Brief for a night out or for daily wear.
You can find these at Dead Good Undies.
