Super Ruched

This is India, she is leaving us for Las Vegas later this week to be with the one she loves. The Simply adjustable Sock Garters shown on her in the previous post were her idea, we had a damaged pair of the traditionals in our unsellable returns box and her socks weren’t staying up. She not only solved her own problem but she solved one we’ve had for ages because our ability to get the buttoned garters has been sporadic at best and these are even simpler, no buttoning required (and you could still adorn them if you wanted). She will be greatly missed by all of us for her hard work, creativity and great taste in leg wear. The boots? I found those at a little boutique in Seattle called Diva Dollz, the brand is Miz Mooz, don’t know the model name though.

This is Flaura, shop helper, ad designer and maker of cute stockings that we only sell in our store. She had another idea for how to wear the new garters with the new Super Ruched socks and I thought it was super cute too.

Our Operations Manager Dara shows us here how the feet are thicker than the rest of the sock. We had actually chosen a thicker version of these to be made, or so we thought. When the slightly sheerer version arrived we decided it was probably a good thing because these are really light weight, perfect for warmer weather. Not so sheer that they snag easily, but as you can see in the first images, they will not hide tattoos (yes, that is a pomegranate, hence the name of the red ones). They could totally be worn over tights in cooler weather, over fishnets could look really neat too. And since these were made just for us you won’t be finding them anywhere else anytime soon.
Okay, I’m sure I am forgetting several things I wanted to say about these
so ask away and we’ll do our best to provide answers…

Real Men Still Wear Garters

We received a link to the image above with this message:
Hi, I received the sock garders I purchased, and I’m very impressed with the quality. I knew the US could produce awesome quality products better than China. By the way, I came across this photo and thought you might want to use it in your promos. It’s a photo (Getty images) of the 1908 US Men’s Tug-Of-War Olympic team. It seems that everyone was wearing sock garders in the past. I would promote this photo and tell the world that “real men” used to wear sock garders.

and although we spell it with a “t” I did find this link for sock garders featuring another fun image of a well dressed man.
Of course we here at Sock Dreams know real men still wear sock garters
our own VP Mr Natosi wears them often…

okay, you can’t see them in that shot, but they’re under there!

We have yet more garters in the works…
no word yet on just when we’ll get more elastic for our beloved button hole garters (we could get another version, but I just don’t like it as well as the one I can’t get, I do ask often and am always told so,mething to the effect of just a little longer…)
and, one of our in house Dreamers came up with a brilliant idea that I can hardly wait to share, no, not even a peep about it you’ll get from me, you know what they say about loose lips! other stuff too, so stay tuned and remember…
Sock Dreams loves you!

The Well Dressed Man

In a pinch for what to get a guy?
We have a great assortment of socks for men…
Our top picks for the stylish gentleman:
B.ella luxury socks that survive the washer and dryer…
Marcello Big Striped Men’s Socks
Maniche wool/silk blend Tweed Bootsocks
Aurelio Colorblock men’s socks
and of course, our very own B Chevron, lightweight and made of recycled fibers.
All four of these styles are made in the USA
and have survived being washed & dried by real men.
Add some stylish sock garters in either a classic style or our very own suspender style which is infinitely easier to attach to his socks (or your socks) and stay attached.
We have both, with and without stripes, and even offer a vegan friendly version.

Now that you have his feet covered, throw in a pair of warmers for his hands.
Most of them will fit most men. Our personal favorites are the
Polonova velvet wrist warmers, they really complete a very nice look.
We’ll be coming in and shipping all orders out as fast as we can
right up until the last minute, regardless of the weather…
Happy Holiday shopping!!!

Super Loose, Super comfy!

…Featuring Trina…

Genuine Super Loose socks from Japan, thanks to Tabbisocks!
as you may know, we’ve tried as many super loose styles as we could over the past several years with the EG Smith version being the classic. Unfortunately EG Smith stopped making them and all of their boot socks & leg warmers until they get their new mill running so I finally put in an order for this version and WoW are they great! super soft and amazingly stretchy. When I first put them on they went right uyp over my knees, no surprise there, but they felt as if they’d go over anyone’s knees. They didn’t stay up on me by themselves for anything, not even just below my knees, they drooped all the way down…

(of course I can get them to stay up with adhesive or sock garters)
As various sock dreamers here tried them on my suspicions were confirmed…
they fit over everyone’s knees!

and they stayed up just below the knees on several of the girls here! Trina could get them to go thigh high and they didn’t dent a bit!
check out these awesome new garters will be making live this week…

Several of our most dedicated sock addicts have already snagged a few pairs for themselves and for the rest of you, if you like this style these are worth getting!
We love them and just might do some custom colors since that is an option with these. But first, we still have a few dozen more new styles to test and shoot. If you happen to be in the Portland area now is a great time to go to our store because new stuff is being added weekly and often is available in our store before it goes online.

Dreaming of Men’s Sock Garters

niqkita — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:27:54 +0000

Made in the USA, to our specifications…

Traditionally a men’s sock garter, we think they are equally practical for girls…

downright sexy on ladies…

…and just plain fun!

They haven’t been the easiest item to find…
at long last we have secured a source for classic sock garters!
with stripes & without stripes
Thanks to my determined crew we’ve received, tested, photographed & labeled a slew of these for you and will be adding variations in the future (more colors and hardware options including clips and faux-leather!!!).

We even made one a few inches longer in case you have extra large calves or want to wear them at your thighs…

Lots more Dreamy news to come!
