We’ll Knock Your Socks Off


I have been using the pipe socks made by these two young ladies for quite awhile now and really like them. I have many for my own pipes and always included them when someone purchases a reborn pipe. They are well made and durable. I asked them to do a write up on their product with links so others could purchase and enjoy them. Without further intro by me here is their article. Thank you Katharina and Juliana.

Hello, readers of rebornpipes. We are Katharina and Juliana, two of the daughters of Kenneth Lieblich, whose articles you may have read here on rebornpipes. Recently, Mr. Laug graciously offered to let us write a blog post about our little pipe-related business — thank you, Mr. Laug!

A couple of years ago, Mr. Laug asked Juliana to make him some pipe pouches, and she sewed up a few drawstring bags from some scrap corduroy. She then moved to various other fabrics she could lay her hands on. We soon discovered how useful these socks were, so Katharina joined in, and this marked the birth of our small, kid-business. Since then, we have refined and updated our method and design. Today, our pipe socks are made of 100% Melton wool felt, hand-sewn by us. You can see real examples of our socks in the photos above and below. In fact, if you have purchased a pipe from Mr. Laug (or our dad) in recent times, it may have come with one of our own pipe socks!

Now, you may be wondering, “What on earth is a pipe sock?” Good question! It is simply a little pouch for maintaining your pipe’s beautiful finish while out and about. Rattling around in your pocket, the wood can get dented, nicked, scratched or worse. A soft and thick wool-felt pouch will protect your precious pipe for years. Each sock measures approximately 3¾ in (9.25 cm) by 7¼ in (18 cm) and can easily fit into a pocket, glove compartment, or bag. You can also contact us for custom-made pipe socks.

“Wonderful!” we hear you say. “Where can I get one?” We are so glad you asked! If you are interested in supporting our little business, you can email us at emporium@knightsofthepipe.com or visit our Etsy shop, https://knightsofthepipe.etsy.com. You can also email our dad at kenneth@knightsofthepipe.com. Thank you for reading, and again, thank you to Mr. Laug for giving us this opportunity!

    I am the proud owner of at least SEVEN SLaug-specials…and their glorious pipe socks! My favorite part is it’s immediately reminiscent of an English Tweed suit. I can picture C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Owen Barfield all sitting around in The Eagle & Child Pub, smoking their pipes over a pint and talking about the latest writings…

    Well now I know where these truly neat socks come from. I love them. They have a nice cushy thickness to them and the fold over top is fab. I’m definitely looking and getting a bunch for all the pipes I have that are sockless.

    Keep up the good work!

    Fantastic!!! I absolutely love these high quality hand crafted pipe socks!!! I am totally stoked that they are available to purchase. I just ordered 10 of them from my loose pipes. Thank you for making these available and I will make sure to push this out over my Instagram account!

    Warm regards.

    I dare say, when I received the first of the two pipe socks I received from Steve Laug my “socks were blown off!” It was the best sock I’d ever seen. I had even mentioned that to Steve in an email.

    But I think it would be more accurate to call them pipe “sleeping bags”! They’re not there just to look pretty. These socks offer actual protection. In fact, they could easily stand in the place of a bulkier pipe case when there’s little packing room or a guy or gal wants to travel light.

    Kudos to Steve for sharing his valuable resource. Thanks Steve!

    Katharina & Juliana – You’ll definitely be hearing from me.
