Dear Sock Lover,

"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend." - Robert Louis Stevenson

Happy New Year from Sock Club! Your January sock, The Tartan, is named for the pattern by which it was inspired. Tartan, historically, described the individual colors and patterns of the heavy traveling cloaks worn by the Scottish people to protect them from the cold Scottish winters. Because different weavers had different dyes available to them regionally, these patterns came to be known as unique identifiers of regional Scottish clans, and are still a large part of the Scottish tradition. The Sock Club family may not be a regional one, but we are proud that our members all receive the same pattern every month, and are able to share in each other's tradition. We hope The Tartan keeps you warm as you set out on your 2019 adventures!

As always, we would love to see your photos and comments about the socks! Please visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/sockclub and share it with all your friends and family (many of whom made this delivery possible for you).

If you have any questions email us at support@sockclub.com

Best,

Dane Noah and Layla
