SOCK IDENTIFICATION PROTOCOL

For when you really, really need to know the difference between your wool and argyle socks.

Or maybe you just want to photograph your socks for the gram.

Or perhaps you're trying to 3D-scan them for the ultimate in socky precision.

SOCK ID PROTOCOL: 1. Identify the color of your sock.
2. Note the pattern.
3. Check for holes.
4. Record the material.
5. Compare to Socks of Fame.

STEP ONE: COLOR IDENTIFICATION

Red? Blue? Pink? Green? Neo-Tartan, Neo-Nerd, or Neo-Grunge?

STEP TWO: PATTERN IDENTIFICATION

Stripes? Polka dots? Argyle? Neo-Zebra, Neo-Camo, or Neo-Mesh?

STEP THREE: HOLES

Are they big? Are they small? Do they have a hole-in-the-sole?

STEP FOUR: MATERIAL

Is it wool, cotton, or nylon?

STEP FIVE: COMPARISON WITH Socks of Fame

Compare your socks to the Socks of Fame database and determine if you have Socks of Fame or not.
