    Comparing the scrunched/folded down look vs full length, in the black roper boots, when your housemate tells you that your pale blue hose at full length looks "dorky" - 'nuff said - you reconsider.


    Not that it would look dorky on everybody, it just looked dorky in my specific case. It's case to case, I suppose.

    Folded down vs scrunched

    I folded it down instead of scrunching. The particular hose I was using didn't lend itself well to scrunching.

    So here's what I did ---

    I'm a boots and bulky socks man myself, They definitely look better on than the catalog picture. When I "have" to put on a tie I prefer a pair of polished Doc Martens over traditional Brogues

    I agree. I prefer my polished Docs when wearing my weathered McKenzie.
