Shortly after RBW stopped selling the striped sporty shorty, I called them and
asked that very question. They did not know where I might find them in the
80/20 wool/nylon blend RBW had been selling just before they stopped carrying
them.
IIRC the socks were made by Northland Woolens. Their web-site indicates they
still make and sell a similar sock in 80/15/5 wool/angora/nylon blend.
My experience with RBW socks is that, while a good pure or near-pure wool sock
like that (and for this purpose I consider angora to bs "rabbit wool") does not
last long enough worn cycling to be worth buying, though I found them
*extremely* comfy.
I do wish Northland Woolens made a 20% nylon sock. My final few pairs of those
I got from RBW are giving out at the heel. I like the koala/kangaroo socks. But
neither the knit nor the sizing is the same as those striped sporty shorties
had. And those socks fit me perfectly.
Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean
