Neighbourhood Socks

You'll love these to the bottom of your ‘Neighbourhood’ cotton socks!

Otto and Spike make all of their knitwear from a small factory in East Brunswick. A true Aussie-battler story, the Otto and Spike label was born when a 50-year-old East Brunswick textile producer realised that they could no longer compete with cheap offshore competitors. Their response? To cut out the middle-man, become their own customer, and design and produce products for their own brand-new label! 

Otto and Spike make a super amazing 100% Aussie product using new and original machinery, and often repurpose high-quality Australian yarns - which would otherwise be discarded as surplus - to make their distinctive, super-quality knitwear. Melbournalia stocks a range of Otto and Spike products including socks, blankets, hats and scarves. 

To purchase a pair of these cotton socks is to take home a piece of honest-to-goodness Melbourne history*, as well as to support Australia's small-but-still-thriving manufacturing industry!

Material(s): 60% cotton, 40% nylon/lycra

Sizing: Unisex. See comparison chart below to find your fit. 

Otto and Spike socks are machine washable. 

Size Guide:

*In the 'seventies, before they were named 'Otto and Spike', the company created custom cardigans for Melbourne's Sharpie subculture - the stylish but troublesome youth gangs that fascinated Aussie photographer Rennie Ellis. You can see Rennie Ellis' irreverent photographs reproduced on all of our Kleins body products.
