Pittman Socks
Edition 2026: Ocean Shimmer
Some books don’t just tell stories — they shine.
In his beloved series, Swiss author and illustrator Markus Pfister brings the most beautiful fish in the sea to life, turning color, kindness, and curiosity into timeless stories passed from one generation to the next.
We took that same idea — and translated it into something you can wear.
Instead of pages, we chose patterns. Instead of ink, we chose yarn. And instead of the most beautiful fish, we went for the most beautiful socks.
For this edition, we played with a subtle glitter scale effect — a soft shimmer that catches the light like sunlight on water. The result is a limited piece that feels less like an accessory and more like a small, wearable story — a true collector’s item.
And just like in the best stories, there’s a deeper layer.
Our Pittman Socks are made using regenerated yarn from recycled fishing nets, giving ocean waste a second life beyond the sea.
All yarns in this edition are OEKO-TEX® certified, meeting high standards for safety, quality, and responsible production.
A story you don’t just read —
you wear it.
Step Into 35 Years of Pittman Seafoods
Since 1990, Pittman Seafoods has been delivering sustainable, high-quality seafood as a proud family business.
For this special milestone, we joined forces with Bruges-based artist Wietseart to create a unique design.
Known for his mix of realism and cartoonesque flair, Wietse brought our passion for the sea to life with playful fish motifs and bold, vibrant colors.
Having previously curated our iconic polar bear mural through his street art project, Bridges Street Art, Wietse felt like the perfect match to design these special socks.
We're very pleased he was excited to collaborate with us on this project.
By wearing these socks, you're not just adding a fun touch to your wardrobe - you're also helping to make a difference. The socks are again made from recycled abandoned fishing nets, turning waste into something meaningful.
Edition 2024: Squid socks
Embrace Flexibility with a Touch of Sea Magic - Pittman's Squid Socks Sail In!
Just like the octopus, known for its remarkable flexibility and the ability to squeeze through the tiniest keyhole, we at Pittman embody this adaptability in serving our customers. We stretch, we bend, we twist - doing everything in our power to provide the best possible service, mirroring the octopus' legendary versatility.
Dive into style with a splash of color - our 4th edition Pittman Socks are here, and this time it's all about the squid! Riding the wave from our sushi, lobster, and polar bear designs, we're bringing you a vibrant fusion of blue and purple to give your steps some sea-life magic.

Let's make an impact
At Pittman, we're not only passionate about surprising our customers and suppliers with something special - our branded socks, but also making a positive impact on the environment. By wearing our socks, you're not only showing off your love for Pittman, but you're also helping to retrieve abandoned fishing nets from our oceans and nylon waste from landfills. We use these materials to regenerate yarn, which is then used to make our super cool socks.
