Haven’t done extensive research on it, but the lifetime guarantee on Darn Tough socks has made me their loyal fan and I recommend them to others too. I feel like they stand behind their product I stead of trying to constantly find new ways to nickel and dime me.
Another one is an Italian winemaker, Podere Pradarolo (https://www.poderepradarolo.com/). They make table wines, are not ashamed of it, don’t try to position themselves as premium wine producers, and the owner refuses to raise the prices beyond the bare minimum that allows him to keep operating. They’re not in it for profit, and it shows in their wines - they are fantastic for what they are and I always have a couple bottles at home.
I wish Darn Tough accommodate international markets more readily. I had 1 imported years ago via proxy and it was honestly magical. Not swelteringly warm at all in a tropical country. For refer6im used to wearing jeans in this climate so it’s nothing out of the ordinary for me. Too bad I blew a hole at one of the toe area and never really bothered to try for their warranty after reading their policy back then.
The wine? No idea since I’m in Japan, but they do export uite a lot, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s at least one or two importers in the US. Not sure about the price though, with all the psychotic tariffs being applied and taken back and reapplied seemingly every week…

They are great socks, my favorites. I can’t wear the things out. They are an example of paying up front to save in the long run.

Sounds awesome. Can that be purchased in the states?
