But the WHY has nothing to do with being a tartan nazi or enforcing any made up rules. It's how this style of hose are designed to be worn. They are made so that when you turn over the cuff, the pattern on the cuff meets up with the pattern on the hose, so the whole sock is covered with the same matching argyle pattern.
And thanks for pointing out the reasons, Matt. At least with the reason we can make informed decisions.
I understand the frustration of some here when someone makes a comment about how something should be worn but doesn't explain why, other than "that's just the way it's done." I know I always like to know the "why" of things.
