There’s a new sock about town, its website, beautiful, and copy, quite witty.

Chuck Butler Supplies introduces its first season of dynamite foot socks. Brooklyn based designer, flag maker, and Teddy Roosevelt scholar: Jeff Butler warns the wearer of his socks are in danger of grave envy, and extreme comfort – boasting to have plumbed the eastern seaboard’s textile mills to find only the Grand Poobah of knits, fabrics worthy of the Chuck Butler name and serial number.

As a man who knows the importance of the right sock at the right moment, Jeffery promises no sock bearing his grandfather’s name will prove “Too itchy” or “Too wussy.” Currently available in five colors, each banded at the hem with its own forked pennant, serial # emblazoned on the arch. These are socks to be sought after. Get your Chuck Butler’s in bulk.

There once lived a French gazillionaire named Albert Kahn who collected over 72,000 autochrome plates from around the world. He sent photographers to the ends of the Earth at a time when empires were collapsing and World War I fell upon Western Europe. The poor chap lost his fortune in the crash of 1929, but his dream of promoting cross-cultural peace through photography and understanding lives on in his collection.

The beautiful red, green, and violets are created by microscopic grains of potato starch. Autochrome was the principal photography process used between 1907 and the 1930s. Thank you, inventors Lumière, you clever brothers you.

Patrick Cariou spends a decade migrating backwards through the thousand year journey of the gypsy people. Starting in Western Europe, through Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and finally to India, Cariou visually documents the varied images of these renegade, survivalist clans. A very authentic, life’s work; a beautiful and an important study of a misunderstood heritage.

Project C-90 understood this – the residue of magic this abandoned format left behind. An incredible catalog of photos, the Russian based Project C-90 has compiled a comprehensive archive of blank tape images. Every brand, 60 minutes or 90, metal and chrome.

Pretty dope.

These are the latest photos of “Hitched” Launderette taken by Erin Hearts Court photography of Pasadena, CA. So glad someone shot my mustache before the wax wore out. You could look this good too in one of our bow ties.

There was one of us… doing rad things.

Photographer, Brandon Kidd took these photos of our display at Hitched, and we especially love the close-up he got of our new Launderette Bow Tying Diagram. A step-by-step bow tie knot guide, we’ve also silk-screened these on the backs of the Tiecards you see displayed on the wooden shelf. Free with every Bow Tie purchase… We’re kinda proud of ‘em.

Don’t miss the rest of Brandon’s photos (did someone say synchronized swimming?) of the event on his blog. He shot some great work of the Mattson 2 and that low-end/high-end, double neck guitar of theirs.

Had our picture made @HitchedEvent by Smilebooth. Pinky out, and a fist. This actually embodies well the Launderette way – refined and mannered, but you don’t wanna step ta this.

Wedding website, 100 Layer Cake has posted some new photos of the Launderette ties at Hitched. You can get a better idea of how bitchin’ the Grooms Lounge was too.

Thank you Layer Cake! Your nuptial news is delicious!
