The Best of the Kitchener Stitch

Everyone knows the famous Kitchener Stitch Socks and Faux Pas by Jean Baptiste Drapes. It is one of the best known brands of fashion sock construction materials. And its reputation continues to grow with each year that passes. The double-sided stitching is not just impressive; it’s also functional. Whether you’re planning on replacing your own poorly constructed shoe with a Faux Pas or just making a pair of fashion socks according to your design taste, this is a stitch you should look into.

Just exactly what was missing, high quality, practical, and get all the little tiny stitches that go along with it – like the Kitchener stitch for the sock toe, that means no sewing seams from one side to the other, no ladders, no joins and no wasted material. Kitchener stitching is the choice of professional seamstresses as well as amateur sewers that have taken over the sock construction industry and has made everyone from mothers with three-year old children to those who want to take their job serious at work have a more professional and less frustrating work day. But if you like, you can skip the stitches at the front and the back and finish the job at the toe instead. The added bonus is no more visible seams at either end of the boot or bottom of your sock. The Kitchener Stitch Socks Toe Boot and the Kitchener Stitch Faux Pas both offer the same high quality construction with the same fast, easy repair and are both machine washable if that is of importance to you.

I particularly like the Faux Pas for the fashion world, especially when I am wearing my tennis shoes and don’t want my toe look like I’m in an alien habitat. The Faux Pas stitches down both sides for a nice clean line that is very utilitarian. It also offers a padded insert so the stitches stay where they should be and no where else. Both of these options are available in solid and un-soled styles and you can choose between black, white and tan for the interior and the patterned leather for the exterior. I’ve seen these socks on some professional golfers and am sure they will be perfect for your game of golf and even your daily wear!
