Show HN: Threadless for socks

I'm fairly certain that all those logos in their are copywritten and thus illegal for you to stick on socks and sell.

How is this "Threadless for socks"? The whole point of Threadless is that they're crowd-sourced art that the community votes on.<p>This just seems like standard corporate merchandise printing, like when you get your logo on a bunch of pens.

Really cool widget, but to me your tagline seems wrong. You give away tshirts at conferences because people notice them, they don't notice socks. Just say, make cool socks.

I would love if you could also make something a la thredless/spreadshirt/lafraise ...<p>Because I'm always looking for "fantasy" socks (e.g. not just plain socks, don't know the proper English idiom for that) and they are quite hard to find.<p>I understand that you need a certain volume for a batch to be worth doing, hence the "let people create design, vote and then sell the most popular one" idea.

So...This is what it's come to.

Been waiting for something like this for a while. Having tried a ton of socks, I find build quality varies quite a bit. Dont see any discussion of this on the site - can you elaborate?

This is really cool! A few things:<p>The design tool allows the full spectrum of colors and the uploading of high-res photos. I'm doubtful that this [1] would print.<p>Also, I'm sure you need large orders for this to make sense, but 500 feels pretty high. If you allow orders of 50 pair, I'm in for 50 of these [2]. :)<p>1. <a href="http://cl.ly/image/0C3o1l1i3F2t" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/image/0C3o1l1i3F2t</a> 2. <a href="http://bit.ly/105rXVf" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/105rXVf</a>

Have you looked into expanding to the UK market? I don't think you understand how big the market is for colo(u)rful socks here!

The design-a-sock widget (link at the top of the page) is actually pretty cool.

Very cool, but the site is pretty much unusable on android chrome.

I like this, I really do, but is there any way to easily offer smaller batches at higher prices per sock? I understand that it is easier to make in bulk.

Interesting idea - however, without some close-up example photos of how those patterns would look on a sock, I wouldn't want to purchase any of those.

Cool! Are you printing and shipping these yourself or do you have a fulfillment partner/service?

tees have an advantage in that they can say something to others. socks don't, usually.<p>unless your feet are up on the table.<p>anyway, it's a GREAT idea. hope it is profitable.
