They don't have an inside or an outside, so you never need to worry about putting them on inside out.

Acme Klein Bottles http://www.kleinbottle.com/
Cliff Stoll's basement business, walking distance from my house. Unfortunately, glass only, no doubleknits. The site covers most of the good non-orientable bric-a-brac jokes, so I needn't repeat them here. [td, Mar 25 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

SciFi's Seeing Ear Theatre http://www.scifi.com/set/playhouse/
Go to "The Elevator and the Pole." Not directly related to Klein socks, but a reference to a 4-d mobius bottle, and a good listen besides. [nick_n_uit, Mar 25 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

Poem: "The Argyle Girl" http://www.cyberene.../~kelta/argyle.html
"She toyed with an orphan argyle / Pondering the destiny of its mate; / And wondered if she could twist / A sock into a Mobius strip / Or mold it into a Klein bottle." [egnor, Mar 25 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

Do you mean you can put them off, but you can't take them on?

A pair of those would nicely match my Moebius sweatband.

Can't believe we've missed the obvious until now: Calvin Klein clotheswear. Somebody should write to them.
