I think that I was the one who originally spotted these and, after I had ordered and received them and determined that they were of adequate quality, tipped the forum off to them. I am, in point of fact, wearing a pair of the Olive Heather ones right now. I do seem to remember someone else ordered them and was not pleased with them and a lot of reluctance on the part of some because they're listed as "seconds". I've got four pair of the Dark Olive and four of the Olive Heather and they've held up well. The Olive Heather is nice because they have only a very slight tinge of green and appear to be an almost neutral grey. The Dark Olive are dark enough that they appear a dark grey...they're not Olive as in Olive Drab. I hope that Bridgedale gets the hint and continues to produce them. I've had very little luck finding a legit adress for Bridgedale and these socks only seem to show up on Sierra Trading Post. I'd buy them as "firsts" if I could find them anywhere. Some other colors would help...

Best
