What is it: Local sock company Plainsbreaker is behind this new menswear store in The Core.

Where is it: The Core Shopping Centre, 324 8 Ave. S.W.

What it sells: Plainsbreaker socks come in every colour and pattern you can imagine, and at a good price too — you can get one pair for $10 or three pairs for $20. The store is also home to local products such as socks from MNS and Good Luck Sock, paper products from Greta Jane Paper Co, Bro Brick Soaps and apparel from brands like Local Laundry and Ole Originals.

What else you should know: Plainsbreaker’s socks are currently designed in Calgary and made in China. However, the company recently purchased its own Italian sock knitting machines so that it can make the socks here in Calgary. Once the manufacturing facility is operational, Plainsbreaker will be one of the country’s only cotton sock manufacturers.
