Socks...
Little more than a year ago I flew on an AS award on BA in F and I was blown away! What I remember the most, is the awesome socks I got from the little package of goodies (it got me hooked on carmex). I was wondering if anyone has been able to track down a source of the BA Socks. I haven't called BA to inquire, because I wouldn't want to sound like a baboon 
Anyone??
Anyone??

Can I just say, a great refreshing post in our time of bickering.
Alsa, I have no clue regarding your problem.
Fingers X, me thinks someone will be able to help you out

I still have two pair of these socks and they've held up wonderful in the time I've had them. I wish I could get a whole bucket load of'm!

I'm wearing my blue BA socks today on an unusually chilly day in San Diego. I also have tan BA socks - and I think the latest version is gray. They are an order of magnitude nicer than any other airline sock. Most I wear on the place and leave on the plane.

These used to be very popular in the 90s and you could get them at Marks and Sparks - haven't seen any for a long time - though the last pack of three pairs I got were from Tesco...........

Once upon a time, BA used to give away very smart black and grey Paul Smith socks in First. A 'friend' got me a couple of pairs and they have lasted very, very well.
I'm not so keen on the new pairs - great for wearing with wellies but otherwise not that stylish or comfortable imo.
