Field Almanac
The Almanac is open · You choose the birds

You decide which birds we make.

We’re making a wearable almanac of the natural world — and we’re not choosing the flock. You are. Read each bird’s story, back your favourite, and the most-backed birds get drawn into socks. The standings never close.

Backing a bird gets you the free pocket set — five wallpapers and a pocket field guide — and a place on the list for the first edition.

The idea

For centuries an almanac was how you held onto the turning year — the dates the birds came back, the night the swifts left, the first hard frost. We’re making one you can wear. Each edition is a small, careful set: a few birds worth noticing, drawn the way a field guide draws them, chosen by the people who’ll wear them.

Not cute. Not cartoon. Reverent.

Field Geometry plate of an American Goldfinch
American Goldfinch · Spinus tristis
Drawn true

We draw from the record, not the imagination. Every crest, every wing bar, every field mark is checked until a birder could name the species from shape and colour alone — then reduced to its essential geometry: flat colour, clean line, the quiet confidence of a mid-century plate.

The drawing comes first. The sock is just where it lands.

What we believe

We care about two things, in this order: getting the bird right, and making something worth keeping. We’d rather skip a drop than ship a pair we don’t love — a colour that’s off, a bird a birder wouldn’t recognise.

Small editions, made with care. Field-guide accuracy, every time. And a part of every pair — €1 — goes back to the birds that started all of this, with the receipts published for anyone to see.

A lot of fuss over socks, maybe. The birds are worth it.
