It's no secret that menswear from all over the globe (especially Japan and the USA) is obsessed with the textiles and patterns of the American southwest, specifically the Navajo tribe. The colors and patterns have a certain vibration. Blankets and clothing from 100+ years ago jump off the page of books or auction sites. We were inspired by a series of Navajo blankets from the 1850s to the 1890s and created a collection of socks around them in recycled cotton.
We have three styles: the Rio Grande (in the line since last fall), the Navajo Stripe (new), and the Southwest Diamond (new). You can get them individually, but we've also created bundles of the three styles together based on their color tone. This gets you all three styles in one bundle with harmonious colors of either earth tones or classic colors.

The Navajo stripe has bands of patterns that form stripes and is based on blanket purchased in Tucson in 1869. The blanket has been dated from 1850 - 1869. Stripes have always played a big role in our sock designs and doing patterned stripes was a nice addition to our stripe lineup.

The Southwest Diamond is inspired by two Navajo Serape style blankets, both dated from the 1860s to 1870s. One was purchased by a Sante Fe merchant and the other by an Army general. It's a complex pattern, knitted on a jacquard knitting machine in North Carolina. |

The Rio Grande Serape (1860s) is a serape style pattern with compound bands of vertical zig-zags and stacks of concentric diamonds. It was acquired by a Governer of New Mexico who came from a merchant family. This blanket was the original inspiration for our southwest styles that started in the fall of 2019. |
