Mamas for Mamas

Envisioning a future where no mama or child is left behind.

Having cool socks is cool. Not having any socks at all? Not cool. The unfortunate reality however is that in times of struggle, some Mama’s aren’t able to provide something as simple (and necessary) as socks to their children. We make socks! So how (we wondered), could we make sure kiddos who need socks will get them?

8 Ways to Wear Friday Socks this Summer

8 Ways to Wear Friday Socks this Summer

Hold on to your socks, because it’s officially the first day of summer – hurray! It’s time to put away all of those layers and so-called in-between ‘transition’ pieces and bring out your shorts, flip flops, and tanks in preparation for the glorious abundance of heat that this season brings.

These socks did good things.

Since the middle of March, we’ve all seen Canada and the greater world crumble in devastation as front-line workers work tirelessly to find some relief from the adversity caused by COVID-19.  Now into May, and as the country starts to slowly reopen, the full impact hasn't yet been felt. 
Why we don't make our socks in Canada - Friday Sock Co.

Why we don't make our socks in Canada

We didn’t always make our socks in Italy. In fact, our very first production in 2014 was in China (we went through three different manufacturers during the next year). By spring 2016 we decided to move our manufacturing and elevate our brand as a premium product in the process. We weren’t getting what we needed from the factories we were using and something had to give.

Organic Cotton!

Guess what?! We have been busy green bees behind the scenes (as usual) and are now ready to announce that all our new kid socks will feature organic cotton! As we sell through our inventory for past designs, these also will be replaced with organic cotton versions.

Goodbye Plastic

As this year began, Friday Sock Co made it a priority to expand on its mission to be as Earth Friendly as possible. We were already green - but we wanted to even greener.

Our socks are ethically made with continual shifts to reduce waste while considering our carbon footprint.

Socks with a Conscience!

Friday socks are made to put a smile on your face when go to wear them, hence the hilarious and relatable mismatched designs that we are continually coming up with! However, we want the quality of our socks to go beyond the fabric and not only be comfortable but make a positive impact on everyone they come in contact with.

Friday Goes to the Stampede

When you’re a small business who likes to have a root tooten good time in a city like Calgary, there’s only one place to go; The Calgary Staaaaampede (Yeehaw).

In case you haven't seen the flags on every street pole in the city - The Calgary Stampede is happening July 5 -14 2019. It is full of adventure and unlike anything else you can experience at other times of the year. There is much to do that we thought it would be helpful to feature some of Friday’s faves.

Core Values - More Than Socks

Recently we had a photo shoot to capture some of the newer designs at Friday Sock Co.

But this was no ordinary shoot. We had bubbles. A lot of laughs. Collaboration. And personalities from introvert to top-notch extrovert. And it worked. Wanna know why?

Combed Cotton

Friday Sock Co socks are made with Egyptian Combed Cotton, which may leave you asking yourself... what is this word "Combed" all about? Well, the short answer is this - Combed Cotton is a super soft version of regular cotton. Pretty simple right? But how does it get its super softness?
