Hello, readers of rebornpipes. We are Katharina and Juliana, the teenage daughters of Kenneth Lieblich, and pipe-sock seamstresses of Knights of the Pipe. Last year, Mr. Laug kindly let us write an article, introducing our soft, 100% wool felt pipe socks (and Etsy shop). We are back to thank you all for your gracious support over the last year. Our little business has taken off, and we have been blown away by your generosity.

For those who weren’t aware of our pipe socks and Etsy shop, you can read our previous article here. We happily accept bulk orders and custom-size orders too. We have also added a number of vintage pipe stands (racks, rests, whatever you want to call them) to our Etsy shop. We frequently add more – so please check back on a regular basis!

If pipe socks and/or pipe stands interest you, we would love to hear from you. You can buy directly from 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!

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!
