Which socks

[jimi]

What socks should I wear with my dubarry sailing shoes and cargo shorts?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Long whites, with red and white banding around the calf...

I'm led to believe by suitably fashion conscious daughter that the latest 'thing' is to wear odd trainers.... so maybe you could be at the leading edge of yachty fashion by wearing one dubarry shoe and one comfy open toed sandal......would complement the white socks nicely....

pussers socks.

I used to wear odd deck shoes, as I once lost one new one in Calias harbour whilst mooring up. It sank like a submarine on emergency dive practice. From then on, I always wore odd ones.

But back to the OP question:

As an essex lad, I am obliged to wear white socks on all social occasions. I therefore presume the same applies regionally throughtout the provinces. I am sure that Scots are meant to wear long slightly countryside coloured green/brown wool socks of knee length with a broad turn down band and leg holdes elastics with wee tassles. Into which, on posh wedding like occasions, they are wont to wear a Skean Dhu.
I think the OP will cut a fine dash in such attire.

One black, one white?

NO socks are to be worn with Dubarry deckies. If the weather requires socks, you should wear your Dubarry boots.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Unless you are based anywhere near the Hamble, and then you should wear your Dubarry boots at all times regardless of weather, especially when in Tesco or Safeways....

Port and starboard "Captain's Socks" of course...try nortykalear!

I know a bloke than can actually get fifty friendly tons into one of his boots, mind you they are steeleys so in no real need of a Q tank. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Had the weather been a degree or so cooler the weekend before last, then instead of Med style shorts and bare feet I would have been seen in shorts and dubarry boots. A style first perhaps?

Socks may be provided for the tubular filters, which socks may contain seams that are aligned in vertical planes for the easy severance of the cakes of solid particles which build up upon them. A bottom drag out conveyor may be provided for the settling tank and a suction pump draws the liquid through the filters into an adjacent clean tank. When the coating of removed solid particles on the tubular filters becomes excessive, such as after a certain period of time and/or a predetermined vacuum occurs on the intake of the pump, the suction may be automatically shut down, and reverse pressure applied to the filters to bump off the cake that has formed on the filters so it can settle and be removed from the settling tank. If required, a precoat filter medium may be applied to the filters. This precoating filter medium or material may be fed from a hopper onto a screen where jets of liquid disperse it through the screen for introduction into the settling tank above each of the tubular filter frames for direct and rapid deposit on the filters to minimize loss due to settling.

I do hope that this is helpful.

I agree with Ken - definitely none.

I recall once ripping the socks off one of my team (we had had a few by then) and throwing them into Sutton Harbour as it is "de riguer" to be sockless with deck shoes.

The problem with wearing no socks with Dubarrys is that after a few days of use the shoes stink to high heaven.

I use deodorant in the Dubarry before I use them sockless, that does the trick.

If you must wear socks though I don't think you could go wrong with these bad boys...

Definitely no socks when sailing, - saves trying to dry the b*gg*rs out!
