Golden Era Socks
£12.50
I have worn and made a few pairs of socks in my time. I have had really good ones, I have had bang-average ones and, let’s face it, everyone has had really awful ones. However, our Golden Era socks are about as close to sock perfection as we can get.
Our socks pay homage to the socks worn by American sports stars and college students in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. The socks were always off-white, with coloured stripes across the top for the team or college that they represented. These socks are always seen peeping out from a pair of loafers or jeans on those amazing fashion photos from the era.
Our socks are made in Scotland by the lovely Steve in a shed (genuinely). Each pair passes through his hands for him to approve. No mass-making poor quality stuff for us. Oh no! Our socks are made from a really bouncy, fluffy and comfortable ecru yarn that Steve then turns into wonderful socks. They feature a hefty, cushioned sole, a compression strap so that your socks don’t slip down and a ribbed leg for a comfortable fit.
They are available in three colours and they are as follows:
Bogues – These pay homage to the shortest player to ever play in the NBA. Muggsy was an intelligent, skillful and competitive player that has become a cult hero amongst people of a certain age. He also managed to play in one of the most iconic Charlotte Hornets jerseys of all time too… and he was in Space Jam so a real winner. Purple and teal on an off-white base. Perfection.
Cavani – Pink and black always look good together, but when they are on our porridge-coloured base, they look even better. Throw in the fact that they are inspired by one of our favourite Napoli players during his time in Sicily and you have a winning pair of socks.
Sabonis – Yellow, red and green look good together, but these socks are a nod to the great Lithuania team of 1992 and their man-mountain, Arvydas Sabonis. You may not be able to play like the big man in these, but you may look just as good.
If you fancy stocking up on Golden Era socks, you can mix and match any 3 pairs for just £30, sounds good to me… and your feet.
Made in Scotland.
