What our customers are saying
Product Information
Blue and black houndstooth over-the-calf dress socks. A classic houndstooth in navy and black. A textured neutral that holds up under tailoring and reads as pattern only on a second look.
Knit in Italy from 100% Mercerised Egyptian cotton on a 240-needle machine. The over-the-calf length stays up through a full day. Hand-linked heels and toes sit flat against the foot.
The Make
Knit in Italy on machines that turn each pair slowly. The country where a dress sock is still treated as a garment, not a commodity.
Long-staple cotton from the Nile Delta, spun in Italy. The longer the fibre, the smoother the thread, and the longer the sock holds its softness.
The yarn is bathed in lye under tension, a process patented in the 1840s. It tightens the fibre, deepens the colour, and gives mercerized cotton its quiet sheen.
The number of needles on the cylinder that knits each sock. The higher the count, the finer the gauge, and the closer it feels to a piece of fabric than to a piece of hosiery.
Knit to the weight a proper dress shoe wants. Slim enough that the foot still feels the leather, sturdy enough to last a day in it.
The two places a sock wears out first, knit with twice the yarn and tighter tension. The reason a pair lasts seasons rather than weeks.
The toe seam is closed by hand on a linking machine, stitch by stitch. No ridge under the toe, no rub against the inside of a shoe.
A simple paper sleeve. Slips off, and the socks are ready to wear.
