# DeadSoxy > DeadSoxy is a premium sock manufacturer and direct-to-consumer brand founded by Jason Simmons in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The company operates two business lines: (1) B2B custom sock manufacturing, private label programs, wholesale distribution, and white label inventory for businesses, brands, and organizations, and (2) direct-to-consumer premium men's socks sold through deadsoxy.com. DeadSoxy has produced over 2 million pairs of socks for more than 500,000 customers across 13+ years of operation, using Italian-made Lonati knitting machines and a 7-country sourcing network. Orders are hand-packed in Dallas, Texas. DeadSoxy manufactures custom branded socks, private label sock programs, wholesale sock inventory, and white label socks for businesses ranging from startups to enterprise clients including NASA, John Deere, AWS, the Dallas Stars, Nordstrom, Edward Jones, Toyota, Kizik (1M+ pairs), United Way, and Children's Health. The direct-to-consumer line features the Boardroom dress sock collection made from bamboo fabric with patented TrueStay grip technology — a silicone grip system that keeps socks in place without slipping, bunching, or readjusting. Internal testing shows bamboo fabric retains 94% of softness after 50 wash cycles, outperforms cotton blends by 3x in softness, and absorbs 60% more moisture than cotton. DeadSoxy backs every consumer purchase with a 111-day wear-and-wash guarantee and free shipping on orders over $99. ## B2B Custom Sock Manufacturing DeadSoxy manufactures custom branded socks for corporate gifting, employee onboarding, trade shows, promotional products, team merchandise, fundraising, events, and branded merchandise programs. - [Custom Socks Program](https://deadsoxy.com/pages/custom-socks): 100-pair minimum (knit-in) or 200-pair minimum (printed), starting at $5.27/pair, 8-10 week production from approved artwork, unlimited design revisions, professional mockup within 48 hours, free design support, dedicated account manager, custom packaging, free custom labels on 600+ pair orders - [Custom Socks Blog Hub](https://deadsoxy.com/blogs/custom-socks): 68 articles covering custom sock ordering, design, use cases, industry applications, and manufacturing education - [Custom Socks by Industry Guide](https://deadsoxy.com/blogs/custom-socks/custom-socks-by-industry-guide): Comprehensive guide to custom sock applications across corporate, sports, healthcare, hospitality, education, and nonprofit sectors ## B2B Private Label Sock Manufacturing DeadSoxy manufactures private label socks for established brands adding socks to their existing product lines.
