Is Pantherella sock quality truly declining?
Or is this just one famous person's opinion? And what are their unethical practices?:

Re: Is Pantherella sock quality truly declining?
My dear Duke, surely you have noticed that the most popular lament of the AAAC forumite is that company x just isn't what it used to be in the good old days. So-and-so darts their suits, this company lets brown people make its stuff, et hoc genus omne. I really could care less what a maker was like in the halcyon days of yesteryear. Whether I like the product now is all that I care about.

AQG - brown people? - for Gods sake man are you colour blind - it is now yellow people who make all the stuff in all the world- for crying out loud even the price of beer in England has risen as a result of these yellow factory workers liking a pint and hence a shortage of hops and barley - Or so we are told.....

The only men's shop worth mentioning in the Albany area occasionally puts out an array of NOS Pantherella. I picked up a few wool pairs and the quality is quite nice.
I have some more recent pairs, and one is starting to fray after about a year.

Basically Kabbaz is wrong. If you want to know about Pantherella socks talk to experts like Woods of Shropshire who are both cheaper and have a better range including socks Kabbaz claims don't exist. I suppose he has a better margin on the new make and needs to get people to change over.
