Redditor purchases Jimmy Lion socks as a Christmas gift
I bought what I are hope are good socks last night from Jimmy Lion. I think the ad was on my instagram. I got a couple of the "athletic" (thicker) novelty print socks that are at least mostly cotton for my teen son for Christmas. One, a Basquiat repro print, and one is Felix the Cat. It's been really hard to find novelty socks that are cotton.
