THE LONDON SOCK EXCHANGE
The Pin Socks
How best to describe these socks? Well, on the hole, they really are great.
For an outfit which we’d always raise a flag to, roll into these alongside a gently contoured trouser and classic tan Oxfords: you’ll quickly be a putt above the rest.
Each and every sock they make is crafted for comfort and style.
The London Sock Exchange knit their socks using 200 needles and sustainably-sourced, certified organic cotton. The high density of this knit means socks are not only finer, but also stronger than your average pair. Within the design, the patterns are knitted in nylon, and we use a small amount of elastane in the top, for grip. The exact split of materials depends slightly on the design, but usually it's around 78% organic cotton, 20% nylon, 2% elastane.
Unlike a lot of socks produced for the high-street, they also don’t cut any corners when finishing our socks. That’s why they handlink the toe to each and every sock they make. This gives a perfect, seamless finish to the bottom end of the sock, for maximum comfort.
And finally, their socks are all finished with a honeycomb welt, to give a more comfortable, flexible fit around the calf.
