Eight core materials. Endless combinations. Each fabric is selected for specific performance, comfort and style goals.
Soft, breathable and skin-friendly. Combed cotton removes short fibers and impurities, leaving only the longest, strongest fibers for a smoother, more durable sock.
Naturally antibacterial, odor-resistant and biodegradable. Bamboo fiber wicks moisture away quickly and feels cool against the skin, even in hot weather.
Fine, itch-free wool that regulates temperature. Merino keeps feet warm in winter and cool in summer while naturally resisting odor and moisture.
Engineered technical fiber that moves sweat away from the skin to the outer surface. Ideal for high-intensity sports and long-distance running.
Adds strength, elasticity and abrasion resistance. Nylon is often blended with cotton or wool to improve shape retention and extend sock lifespan.
A type of rayon made from beech tree pulp. Modal is exceptionally smooth, drapes well and resists shrinking and fading over repeated washes.
Provides elasticity and a snug fit without sagging. Usually added as a small percentage (2%-5%) to keep socks in place around the foot and ankle.
Contains real silver ions that inhibit bacterial growth. Excellent for foot-odor control and extra hygiene requirements.
