Gammarelli have been making popes’ socks - and other ecclesiastical clothing - since 1798. If you like red or violet socks, they’re your guys - stepdad’s Christmas present sorted, in my case. Available online here. Found via @esquireuk. The picture is Velasquez’s portrait of Pope Innocent X. (Francis Bacon’s is here).
