What to know about decka Quality Socks
Socks only, knitted on old machines
The entire range is hosiery, knitted in Japan on vintage machines — heavyweight plain crews, mercerized Giza cotton dress socks, three-stripe skater pairs, tie-dye and reversible styles.
No house aesthetic, on purpose
Founder Sho Watabe avoids a fixed look so the socks work across wardrobes, which is why 1980s skater stripes sit next to formal Giza cotton in one range.
Watch for the SHOWATABÉ name
Prices run roughly 2,400–3,300 yen, stockists reach Europe, Australia and the US, and overseas markets are gradually moving to the name SHOWATABÉ.
