NEWS – When my daughter was younger, I bought her socks from a company called LittleMissMatched.  Each set included three socks of different designs but with the same color combinations.  You could use any two of the socks for a pair of purposefully mis-matched socks.  They were really popular with girls back then, and I’m sure many mothers liked them as much as I did because it was easier when you didn’t have to worry about pairing up socks as part of laundry.

Well, now it seems two friends, Alexander Morabbi Wulsch and Adam Kuskner, got the idea that men could benefit from color-coordinated, purposefully mis-matched socks and created a line called SoloSocks.  Their sets consist of seven socks in one color combination.  The socks are made of 80% organic combed cotton, 17% polyamide, and 3% diabetes-friendly elasthane.  They have hand-linked toe seams allow for a flat seam and a comfortable fit.  They are one-size-fits U.S. men’s 7-12.

You’ll reduce waste because you’ll no longer have to throw out a sock when you lose one sock.  The packaging even converts into a set organizer for your drawer, so you’ll reduce waste there, too.  The socks are available in sets of seven in blue, navy, red, purple, or yellow combinations.  A set of seven SoloSocks is $39.95 at The Grommet.

NEWS – I know that geese have down that are used in making pillows, but I never knew that bison had down, did you?  Apparently bison down can be used to make warm, cushy, and durable yarn when combined with merino wool.  This yarn incorporates 18% nylon and 2% spandex with the 56% merino wool and 24% bison down and is then made into socks that keep your feet toasty and dry.

These socks from United by Blue use bison down because it is softer than cashmere and warmer than wool. They are unisex and fit men’s sizes 9-13 or women’s sizes 10-13.  The socks are machine washable, so you don’t have to make trips to the dry cleaner to care for this wool.  Construction includes a flat toe seam, reinforced heel, and padding for support for ultimate wearing comfort.

United by Blue makes these socks – and even their packaging – completely in the US.  Our environment benefits each time someone purchases these comfy socks, too, because United by Blue cleans a pound of litter from our nation’s waterways for each pair sold.

The Ultimate American Sock by United by Blue is $38.00 a pair from The Grommet.
