Stock from veritas and lie-nielson appears non existent at the moment. Assume COVID and canal problems are to blame. I've been waiting on a Veritas order from Axminster for 6 months.
I wouldn't recommend a sock unless it was wax and oil impregnated. A fabric sock will absorb moisture and hold it against the plane body promoting rust not preventing it
All of the planes I own that have socks have much less of a problem with surface rust than those which are stored in boxes. Even if they spend and extended period of time living in my truck / unheated, damp workshop.
