Washi Pile Crew Socks - Grey

Description

What is washi? Washi is a super cool use of manila hemp yarn, a natural material that is both light and sturdy with excellent water absorption and moisture-releasing properties. Washi itself is commonly used to make paper, so using it in a sock provides a crisp, refreshing feel. The craftsmanship used in the pile knit for this sock is something to admire; Rototo used a special knitting machine to achieve it. Washi paper, but make it socks. Nice.

Introducing Battenwear

Introducing Battenwear

We're super pumped to introduce our first American brand to Tempest Works. Welcome to the shop, Battenwear! Battenwear's aesthetic takes cues from 1960s to 1980s surfer and outdoor wear styles. The brand's designer, Shinya Hasegawa, is inspired by that era's constant waves of change and forward movement.
