Hollow brand alpaca socks?

Just ordered two pairs of boot socks and 2 pairs of crew socks, 3 pair at 33% off and the 4th pair was free.

Looking forward to trying these out!

Dang it man, they got me again!!
Buy 3 boot socks @ 50% get the 4th free.
Then at checkout they offer the same deal on crew socks!!!
I am so weak but hopefully my new boot and crew socks will make me feel better.
Please, stay away from the site if you are weak at all.

My Hollow boot socks and beanie arrived today. The quality of both products out of the package seems top notch. The alpaca content of the socks are very high and I'm confident that they will probably be the warmest socks that I own. Time will tell how durable the socks will be.
The beanie is 100% alpaca which it should not be a durability issue in a hat. Its thick and warm. I'm confident that I will like it.
One minor complaint...someone in the sock manufacturing/shipping department wears cologne because I can smell it on my socks. The beanie is odorless but the socks have a slight smell of nasty perfume stentch. I'm sure they will air out but if I owned a clothing company, no employee would be permitted to wear perfume if they handle the products.
Minor rant.

The socks seem great so far. My boot socks also smelled fairly strongly of men's cologne

It took some effort to get the strong cologne smell out of mine. I soaked them in Sportwash/baking soda for a couple days and they still smelled. I soaked them again in a fresh mixture and they were better but I could smell old spice, axe or some other nastiness. I can't believe people actually apply that stench to their body.
So I ran them thru a cycle of ozone and laundered them. They still had a very faint residual of cologne but it wasn't too bad. I started just wearing and washing them for a few weeks and the smell finally dissipated. I'm not exaggerating how strong the original smell was.
But my only disappointment with Hollow is their reply when I reached out to them about it. They claimed that nobody at their facility wears cologne and that the odor must of come from somewhere along the postal system. Total BS reply.
I still love the boot socks and the beanie. I'm sure I'll eventually buy some more.
 
I made a second purchase from them after trying out the boot and crew socks from my fist order. The crew socks are great for scouting and the boot socks kept my feet warm and comfy on the cold turkey opener. So naturally now I have 3 pairs of boot socks, 2 pair crew socks and a beanie
