Rostersox

Socks rarely get top billing, but Rostersox has spent more than a decade arguing they should. The label launched in Japan in 2012 and treats sock-making with the care many brands save for outerwear or footwear. Every pair is made domestically, with the focus on comfort, character and craftsmanship. The name comes from the baseball term "roster", a nod to the teamwork and reliability behind the brand's thinking. Sportswear is a constant reference point, joined by ivy style, military influences and classic Americana. If you're after socks with a bit of personality and a clear point of view, this is a good place to look. In the UK, you'll find Rostersox at Never Never in Belfast, in store and online.
