SPOTTED my friend (and fellow sock lover) JustinP ON the streets of Soho, SPORTING a shiny new pair of Pantherella socks ACCOMPANIED by a pair of B Store loafers and skinny jeans. Great combo.

Last weekend was spent visiting my new nephew Oscar in Luxembourg. Oscar’s now the grand old age of 6 weeks, and is sporting a burgeoning sock collection. My favorites were his *smily face socks*, which were – according to my sister – bought for Oscar by her Portuguese cleaner.

Royal Wedding socks

I have no idea what socks prince William was wearing on his big day, however I decided to celebrate the occasion by indulging in a new pair of Richard James’ finest.

So it was a case of spotted a pair of Richard James hounds tooth socks accompanied by a pair of Vivienne Westwood check trousers and a pair of Eterno brown suede loafers.

SPOTTED Sockgirl’s friend Ian indulging in some *weekend spring sock shopping* on Mount street, Mayfair. Ian’s sock indulgence is fully endorsed by SockMan, as he’d opted for x3 pairs of spotty Richard James designed Pantherellas – matching the best British design with the best British manufacturing.

I was going to write that I wouldn’t be seen dead in these socks – though on second thought these are definitely the kind of socks that I would most definitely be seen dead in ; – )

Having said that, they’re kinda cool. Randomly SPOTTED in the blog of v.cool Estonian designer Anton Repponen.

Sick socks

Grrrrrrrr – illness has finally hit the Sock Man, so today it’s a case of SPOTTED a pair of rather sad looking grey UNIQLO sports socks chez nous in Brixton. Sports socks are a funny breed of socks. I don’t normally wear sports socks, and now I know why as they’re not particularly well cut around the toe area i.e. they don’t have hand-linked toes, which means that they don’t hug the toes terribly. Though that didn’t really matter today as I was mostly moping around the flat feeling sorry for my sniveling self ; – (

Jack Spade’s in Yorkshire

The Sock Man is now back from the US of A, and is taking some well earned rest with his family in Yorkshire. So it’s a case of a pair of stripey Jack Spade socks SPOTTED in Raskelf (Yorkshire) ACCOMPANIED by a shiny new pair of Diesel trainers. I reckon Raskelf’s never seen a sock and trainer combo like it before!

Ski socks SPOTTED Vermont

ChrisQ — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:52:27 +0000

Ski socks are never going to be the most elegant of things. I’ve opted for a simple pair of grey Snow and Rock socks SPOTTED on the (empty) slopes of Killington, Vermont. The killer thing about ski socks is they should protect (against rubbing) and be not too thick – otherwise they tend to rub and also make your feet cold (as the sweat collects and turns to ice in extreme temperatures

Pantherellas land in Washington

SPOTTED Sockman outside the White House in Washington DC wearing a pair of Patherella pleasure socks (the ultimate for travelling). Question: what socks do you think the President wears?
