Product Info


Unique Twist on Formality 

The Dark Brown and White two-tone are a unique twist on a more formal pair of socks. It provides a different look under a more formal black suit, or with the more casual spectrum of Black tie.

If you are someone who frequently wears black suits or black ties, this would be a pair of socks we would highly recommend. The color scheme can match any element of an outfit and gives a more elevated look against more formal pants than plain black socks.

We have created an in-depth video guide to learn the basics of how to properly harmonize shoes, socks, and pants. If you want to master this subtle art, we are also happy to offer you our ebook on the subject, for free!

Exceptional Dress Socks

  • 2-ply Fil d'Ecosse 75% Cotton & 25% Tactel
  • Made in Italy
  • Two-Tone colorway for more pairing potential
  • Hand finished
  • Extra strong, fast-drying, durable
  • True over-the-calf length

Why does Over-the-Calf Matter?

Few things will ruin the look of an elegant formal ensemble more quickly than short socks, because they will inevitably become saggy and baggy while exposing your legs. Traditional over-the-calf dress socks don’t have this issue as their length helps them stay up all day. It doesn’t hurt that in addition to remaining up, Fort Belvedere formal socks also look great, thanks to the beautiful silky sheen and remarkable luster.

What Are These Socks Made Of?

  • 75% Extra-Long-Staple Cotton. Our yarn is made in Italy from Egyptian ELS cotton with fibres over 33/35mm / 1.3" in length. This yields in a durable, naturally shiny yarns, which is perfect for our socks.
  • 25% Advanced Tactel. Tactel is an exclusive fabric developed by Invista, crafted from the microfibers of nylon 66. This innovative material boasts a drying rate that is eight times quicker than that of cotton, while offering triple the durability and double the softness. Remarkably, it is also 20% lighter in weight. Additionally, Tactel maintains its size without shrinking and preserves its texture even after multiple washes. These socks, with their slight lustrous finish, mimic the look of silk, providing the elegance of silk without the hefty price tag.
  • Manually Harvested Cotton. While it is more costly to pick cotton by hand, it also comes with a few benefits: 1. It avoids impurities 2. Cotton can be picked at the perfect degree of ripeness. 3. It avoids the use of defoliants which is harmful to humans.
  • 2-ply Twisted Yarn. Twisting the cotton creates a lustrous and highly-resistant yarn which increases the longevity of the socks.
  • Flame-treated Yarn. All yarns are flame-treated to burn off any fuzziness you may know from flannel. The result of this process leads to a brilliant yarn, uniformity in color as well as resistance to pilling.
  • Mercerized Cotton. Our yarn is mercerized which makes the socks more abrasion resistant and therefore they last longer.
  • Yarn-Dyed with Oeko-Tex 100 Dye. Our yarns are yarn-dyed, meeting the Oeko-Tex 100 standard, and because our cotton is highly absorbant we can use 35% fewer chemicals than regular cotton.

Sized for You

To ensure a comfortable fit and the correct positioning, your dress socks should always be sized, because no one’s feet are “one size fits all.” At Fort Belvedere, we proudly offer all of our dress socks in five sizes, from Small to Extra Extra Large.

To determine your size, use our accompanying size chart. We have also made a video tutorial to aid you in finding exactly the right size for your foot, taking into consideration personal preferences like desired tightness or looseness.

When your new socks arrive, they will appear large, but this is because they will shrink to the perfect size in the wash.

If you buy multiple socks, wash and then dry one pair first to double-check fit before shrinking all of the socks in the order.

How to Care For Your Socks

  • Your socks arrive with a green tag attached. To remove it, simply pull on the loose green thread.
  • Do not use a knife or scissors as you could accidentally damage the fabric.
  • Initially, your socks may appear large or loose. They will shrink in the wash.
  • Wash your socks either by hand or machine with appropriate detergent.
  • The temperature should be Warm or 30°C -40°C / 86°F-104°F.
  • Put them in a little wash bag so it's easier to pair them afterwards and to avoid bruising the fabric.
  • Ideally, you pull them in shape and you let them air dry.
  • Why not put them in a dryer? Anything you put in the dryer will not last as long as it could if it was air-dried. Yes, we get it. It's more convenient and our socks should be able to handle the dryer every once in a while, but if you want to get the most of your socks, do not dry them regularly.
  • For best results, fully extend the socks and allow them to air dry.

Details & Specs

Black & White Two-Tone Formal Socks on a black single monk strap shoes

  • Perfect Blend of Functional Tactel and Fine Cotton

    With 75% 2-ply Fil d'Ecosse cotton and 25% advanced Tactel, these two-toned dress socks represent the ideal union of past style and future technology. We employ the same cotton that makes all of our dress socks the softest, the finest, and the most elegant on the market. For this pair, we augmented the natural benefits of cotton with the addition of Tactel, a proprietary material created by Invista and made from nylon 66 microfiber. Tactel dries eight times faster than cotton, is three-times as durable but twice as soft, and is even 20% lighter; it is also shrink-proof and its hand doesn't change after washing. With a subtle sheen reminiscent of silk, these socks have the appearance of silk at a fraction of the cost.

  • Versatile Two-Tone Pattern

    The colors in this sock are blended harmoniously in our subtle two-tone construction, which gives the impression of a solid-colored sock at a distance but resolves into two distinct hues upon closer inspection. This polychromatic approach allows you to easily introduce additional hues into your look without becoming overwhelming.   

  • Finely Knitted on 240-Needle Machines

    Top-of-the-line machines perfectly blend threads to create durable, long-lasting, well-made socks that feel as good as they look.

  • Dry-Wearing and All-Natural

    By avoiding stuffy synthetics and sourcing quality, natural fabrics that are spun and finished in Italian artisanal mills, Fort Belvedere socks provide incomparable comfort and breathability to protect your feet from clamminess and sweat.

  • Hand-Kettled Toe

    Machine-finished socks have an annoying seam at the toe area that can rub against and irritate your feet. Because all of our Fort Belvedere socks are hand finished, the toe area is smooth and completely soft, minimizing pressure and irritability at this critical location.

  • Perfectly Sized Socks

    Available in five sizes from Small, to Medium, to Large, to Extra Large, to Extra Extra Large, Fort Belvedere has the right sock for you, to ensure maximum comfort and a refined-looking fit.  

  • Stays in place all day

    Without restricting circulation, these socks stay up all day due to a superior design. elastics & knitting technique. No more yanking up your socks.
