Is there anything better than new, thick, black pusser's socks? I bloomin' love them, and they're free. I haven't bought socks for years!
AND, if you get bored with them and it's cold, you can get arctic socks!
OR, olive drab if you want to wear green. The possibilities are endless....

What more could a chap want in life?

My fiancee has a pair Aaron, and wears them with her FMB's! I am slowly warping her mind.....
If you can't buy your Christmas presents from the Corps Museum there must be something wrong with you!

Corps socks, polo shirt and v neck jumper. Blazer over the top... smart as you like. Got a mate in Oz who carries the standard. He is more corps coloured than the corps colour!

And a Corps Belt turned into a Standard carrier, with a Brunswick star on for good measure - I've seen one! I couldn't quite believe it though
