Description

Hipster chic or unusual gift idea, get yourself what is quite possibly the most unique, and historic, sock item that we’ve seen in… well, ever! Recreated using the traditional methods favoured by Levis Strauss when he first began trading, these Levis Gift Jarred Cotton Vintage Cut Socks represent a piece of hosiery history.Called “Mr Strauss’ Rediscovered Long Socks”, these very chunky, long leg cotton rich socks are woven on traditional 48-needle machine, which are then sealed in a traditional mason jar – and here’s why.Mr Strauss’ business was selling provisions, including clothing, tents and bedding, to miners during the Californian gold rush. To keep them safe and clean, important items were stored in jars – and being warm and dry was very important – as was maintaining your socks properly.Appropriately, this very special set includes extra wool and a darning needle, along with a “Sock Maintenance Manual” to help today’s sock owners rediscover the lost art of mending your own socks. We think this innovative Levi’s product could become a collector’s item, so make sure you have yours.(08/15)
