>Materials: 60% fine gauge merino wool, 33% nylon and 7% Lycra spandex
Is this ratio correct? I can't find a matching listing on the Darn Tough website. http://darntough.com/standard-issue-crew-light http://darntough.com/standard-issue-crew-cushion
Also, I would have jumped in the drop if not for the limited color combination choices. I want 2 large pairs of charcoal socks please.

FeebleOldManThe fabric makeup is slightly different here than on the Darn Tough website, but I'm can't tell you if one is most accurate or if one is simply a little out of date. The ratios are pretty similar though - a nice mix of wool, nylon, and lycra. Sorry that doesn't answer your question exactly but I'll look into this more @FeebleOldMan. Unfortunately we can't get any more colors available for this drop.

FeebleOldManI believe they are the light pair, not the cushioned. Materials match the description for the Standard Issue Crew Light on SocksAddict.

XebecStudiosThey are! Having bought these before, these socks are thinner and gobros describes them as dress socks. When MD dropped these awhile back, they were selling the 1474 which is thicker (light cushion) than this but the same size (mid-calf). After that, they started dropping this one, the 1480 (light sock), which is again thinner but with different material percentages.
YMMV
For reference the 1474 and 1480:

BaconismeatcandyVery knowledgeable, do you have idea what I would have bought as hiking socks by an outfitter along the AT? Or can I tell by how my socks look? I love my socks and would love to get the same socks. not difference!! Thanks Bacon!
