Pipe socks

[Briarfox]

How do you guys ship your pipes? I'm looking for a source for pipe socks but can only find some nice leather ones for $10 a pop. I'm running out of my generic ones that I've built up over the years.

Tim West sells decent suede leather pipe gloves through his site ( www.jhlowe.com ) for like 5 bucks a pop. They come in a variety of colors.

Another idea would be to find a local leather worker. they could probably make you a big bulk order of sweet pouches for a reasonable price. Just depends on what you want.

I sew my own from vintage tweed. Its really not that difficult once you get the hang of it. I can make about 50 in an afternoon, just stick on some music and get sewing

The advantage of sewing your own is that you can tailor the size and shape to suit your pipes. I always make up two batches, small and large then select the appropriate sock for each pipe as they are shipped.

I wrap my pipes lovingly in laminate floor underlay foam, and shove em in a box. Maybe I'll get a logo for the underlay.

Thanks guys!

I usually just go to my "single sock" drawer and pull out a likely candidate. They come in many sizes and colors too! Even argyle.

Neil makes excellent bags. There's a reason his bags are filled with many of the finest pipes in the States and abroad. I second the vote for smokinholsters.com

My mom makes quilts, (rather nice ones i might add. GO MOM!) so I just gave her some material and had her make me some.
