Introducing... Giles X William Crabtree
Renowned British designer, customer & friend of William Ctrabree & Sons, Giles Deacon is a man of style and substance, and a creative genius.We knew we had to design something together. Socks were the obvious start, because we all need a little magic in the mundane...
"As an independent myself, I love to support independent British brands and admire what James does at William Crabtree - shaking up traditional classic menswear with an offering that is modern and inclusive in style and tone.We've had fun creating this collection of socks... because they should be fun."
Giles Deacon
"Giles is an incredible designer and a loyal customer. We knew we had to create something together and I'm thrilled with the socks! Whatever might be next."
James Priestley, William Crabtree & Sons
Reminiscent of traditional English rugby socks with wide ribbing all the way to the toe, these heavyweight cotton socks are made on an original 1977 Bentley sock machine in Leicestershire, in the heart of England.
Base hues in porridge, dove and moss are given collegiate stripes in playful hues of lilac, marigold, caramel and mustard. Just to keep you on your toes…
