He told me before his show today that he was once given 1,000 free pairs of knee high light socks and he has been wearing them ever since.

According to his assistant, Stephanie Birkitt, the socks are actually light gray, and he has never given anyone a straight answer as to why he wears them. Once, on a dare (hers), he wore fluorescent pink socks on the show.

One credible though unsubstantiated theory is that the socks are a subtle protest: When Letterman moved to CBS, his new contract stipulated that he (as well as Paul Schaeffer and all male band members) wear a suit or coat and tie on the air. (At NBC he typically wore slacks and a sweater.) The contract said nothing about socks, however; so, the theory goes, his light gray socks are a passive and humorous form of rebellion against the CBS dress code.

His socks are light grey. There is no public information for where he purchases his socks; but they appear to be the same quality level you could find in any high end mens clothing stores.

David Letterman wears Samuelsohn suits. Samuelsohn is one of the few tailors in the world to make full-canvas suits for off-the-rack. Their workshop is in Montréal.
