The Story
Please allow us to spare several lines on your newest sock model. Eduard Štorch’s 1937 book Mammoth Hunters has been praised for engaging and edifying its readers. Critics praised this Czech book as “permanently influencing Czech pedagogy and children’s literature”.
In our view, this feedback is misguided. The book mentions the word spear a hundred times. Axe is mentioned forty-six times. The reader encounters harpoons seven times. Pikes are mentioned twice.
One must realise that a spear is made up of three parts: a stick, a stone and a binding material (a string). Two of these components may be found freely in nature; one requires laborious fabrication. An accomplished pedagogue such as Mr Štorch should not miss the most crucial elements.
True, he is not alone in this misappropriation. What a colossal shame this epoch, where the summit of human achievement was a string, is called the Stone Age. There is no reason any other invention should have given way to the obvious name: String Age.
So, how could this oversight have influenced history so much? Well, out of sight, out of mind. Excavations exemplify this well because archaeologists are scavengers, including Mr Štorch In a museum, a well-preserved stone or bronze plate looks better than string that has disintegrated into dust. Still, we take historical wrongs as motivation to perfect your future sock models.
Material
What good would four-and-thirty grams of cotton do you, even if the yarn were fine-combed? Four grams of polyamide may not do much on their own, but in concert with cotton, they can extend the sock’s life expectancy.
Two grams of each of elastane and polypropylene can stretch nicely and not tear. You will surely agree that if we didn’t comprise the March sock model out of these elements, none of them would knock your socks off individually.
Wishing you a wholesome but hole-less sock experience,
