Happy Socks by Terry Richardson

We are digging the repurposing of Happy socks into articles of clothing in their new ad campaign shot by Terry Richardson 
Makes us want to get out our sewing machine and see what we can come up with ourselves. It also reminds us of the brilliant Maison Martin Margiela who in his '91-92 Fall collection created tops recycled from old but unused military socks. Check out a step by step tutorial of who you can make your very own here.

New Fall Arrival: Happy Socks

Happy Socks are back for fall with some great prints and colors. This fall collection also offers the first series of Happy Socks made from hemp and recycled cotton, in muted, natural colors and prints.


Happy Socks Hemp Series, assorts colors $13.30/each
All socks available in size M/L (fits men size 41-46)

Happy Socks Classic Series, assorted colors $10.00/each
All socks available in size M/L (fits men size 41-46)

All combed cotton Happy Socks are made of high quality. Since the cotton is combed before being spun into threads, short fibers fall out while stronger more comfier long fibers stay in. The cotton is then woven on Italian machines made by Lonati, famous for their high precision. The machines are computer controlled to ensure exact patterns while the toe seams are sewn by hand to guarantee a perfect fit. The hand linked toe seam means that there is no bulging overlap at the toe, but a perfectly smooth seam, making your socks fit like a glove.
