Meet Chance & Manton, Steve McQueen's modern-day muses. I've known this devilishly daring duo for a few years now and if you know them too, you won't be surprised to hear that they are up to something (again). This time, these captains of mischief are up to something particularly exciting: Heath Paine. The company was formed when Chance and Manton, who both share a penchant "for panache," heavy recreating and serious athleticism on and off the water, discovered there was a gap in the market for some bold socks that truly performed.
Like these two fanciful fellas, Heath Paine socks are well decorated. American Made and engineered with the utmost thought, Heath Paine socks are antimicrobial, meaning, they inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, eliminating any chance of odor, from the boardroom to the bar. Interestingly, they are made by weaving a silver ion thread (akin to the kind you'll find in Lululemon products), into the socks, to guarantee quality and a long shelf-life. Trust me, life will treat you well in these socks.
Monday marked Heath Paine's "Initial SOCK Offering" which was the brand's long anticipated debut. With initial designs, manufacturing and prototyping behind them, Heath Paine needs the support of you fabulous people. Please visit Heath Paine's Kickstarter page to help see this brand continue to sock-seed. In the meantime, contact the fellas for any inquires you might have on their products, or, if you're simply looking for a good time on Nantucket this summer, a handsome date at your evening fête, or in need of some good old fashioned story telling at The Gazebo, you're in good hands (or feet?).
Godspeed to you, Heath Paine!
Welcome to my mild obsession with Nathan Coe. Nathan is a photographer hailing from Nantucket, (or better known as ACK to those that frequent the isle). Although he has lived on the island for over 7 years, he spent his formative years studying photography & media in Gloucestershire, England. His work primarily consists of nudes, aerials and fashion editorial, however I'm personally swayed by his talented lens when it comes to the female form. His photography has such a sensual, raw and ethereal quality. You can also find his work in Architectural Digest and Town & Country, among other publications. To view more of his work, visit here and be sure to follow him on Instagram.
