The socks seem great so far. My boot socks also smelled fairly strongly of men's cologneMy Hollow boot socks and beanie arrived today. The quality of both products out of the package seems top notch. The alpaca content of the socks are very high and I'm confident that they will probably be the warmest socks that I own. Time will tell how durable the socks will be.
The beanie is 100% alpaca which it should not be a durability issue in a hat. Its thick and warm. I'm confident that I will like it.
One minor complaint...someone in the sock manufacturing/shipping department wears cologne because I can smell it on my socks. The beanie is odorless but the socks have a slight smell of nasty perfume stentch. I'm sure they will air out but if I owned a clothing company, no employee would be permitted to wear perfume if they handle the products.
Minor rant.
Don't open the package until after the sale is over. I got my first 4 pair and ordered 4 more!I've yet to receive my first pair. USPS is playing games with me lol.

It took some effort to get the strong cologne smell out of mine. I soaked them in Sportwash/baking soda for a couple days and they still smelled. I soaked them again in a fresh mixture and they were better but I could smell old spice, axe or some other nastiness. I can't believe people actually apply that stench to their body.The socks seem great so far. My boot socks also smelled fairly strongly of men's cologne

The high content of alpaca is the one thing that makes me wonder how durable they will be. I too have used and loved Altera socks. Alpaca is hands down better than merino (which I also like) so I wanted to give Hollow a try. Mine are also a bit fuzzy but I'm not seeing that as "wear" at this point. Time will tell.I just bought 8 pair of Hollow socks from this sale, and they are all going back. I have been using Altera Alpaca socks for couple years and they still look new (also have lifetime warranty). The hollow socks start "fuzzing out" after 1 wear and I don't see them lasting very long at all. The fit was also weird. Both the crew and the boot came up to my knees (I'm 5'9" - 11.5 shoe, ordered L) and the boot socks were just way to loose around the foot. The socks were very soft though and the beanie is awesome (only thing keeping).
