I've been wanting a pair since I saw them in the Title 9 catalog.

Oh, boy! Real wool tights, and Smartwool, which is always excellent!

Finally bought a pair. $42.

Wore them once.

Every. Single. Seam. Failed.

I figure I paid $4/hr for the unheralded joy of wearing a rapidly disintegrating pair of tights through my workday. The risque thrills! The gratuitous ventilation!

I am sad.

Word to the wise: tread carefully when choosing this Smartwool investment. I bought the largest size, which according to the size chart was slightly too big for me. You might want to buy 2 sizes too large to avoid a similar fate.
