Jonathan acquired a dead stock pair of socks that were popular in the U.S. in the 1930's. After analysing them with a Japanese sock factory they discovered that they were made with a number of forgotten techniques and technologies. As the analysis progressed, their team felt the urge to make a sock utilising this forgotten technology, and they took on the challenge , focusing on the yarn count, dyeing , twisting, and knitting to the limit of what we could reproduce with modern technology. When this style of sock was popular it was common for people to make monkey dolls out of them. So they acquired the name "monkey socks." However, since Alberton is famous for Duck Canvas so they named them Duck Socks.
