Five Sizes For Your Perfect Fit

These socks will shrink after washing, so do not be surprised if they appear large initially. After laundering, they will naturally shrink to achieve their intended fit.

If you’ve selected your size using our guide, you can expect an excellent fit once washed.

Fit preferences naturally vary, as some gentlemen favor a closer, more supportive feel, while others prefer a bit more ease. Our sizing assumes a balanced fit: comfortably snug without being restrictive.

When purchasing multiple pairs, we recommend washing and drying one pair first to ensure the fit aligns with your personal preference before laundering the rest.

  • 100% 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.
  • Manually Harvested Cotton. While it is more costly to pick cotton by hand, it also comes with a few benefits: 1. It avoids impurifications 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.

  • To remove the green tag, gently pull on the thread.
  • No need for scissors or a knife because you might end up with a hole that way
  • Once you remove the tissue paper, chances are, they will look big.
  • Wash them either by hand or machine
  • 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
  • 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.
