Our socks are Hand-Made in England - here's how...

We wanted to provide a range of socks that are pure quality and a little bit different. So, being that we try to produce as much of our stuff in the UK as we can, we started searching for a factory that could produce some socks for us in the UK. Not easy!

But, after months of searching and quality control, we ended up at 1 of only 4 remaining sock factories in the UK near Leicester, and when we got there, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. With so many ordinary socks on the market, we wanted colour, quality and comfort all rolled into one and Robert's factory produces exactly that.

The machinery he has there is quite simply amazing - think Charlie & the Chocolate factory for socks. (See below for pics). Different coloured yarns everywhere, spinning and knitting machines going at it hammer and tong, 24/7. We were transfixed.

Robert has obviously seen this reaction many times - grown men standing there as the wheels and cogs turn around you, taking in yarn at one end and spitting out a finished sock at the other. It's old news to him, but you could still see his enthusiasm for what he did. He has some old-fashioned machines and some state-of-the-art... which is exactly how we like it. Traditional methods to produce modern garments.

Not only that, but after his machines have done their bit, he sends them all to another local factory to get the toes hand-linked. So the time and effort that goes into each and every one of these is exactly why you can't get better in the UK. And you can trust us when we say they're comfy.. man they're comfy.

So, when we dragged ourselves away, we chose 3 excellent lines of socks to complement our range.

Multi stripe socks - For the guy who like to show off. (Usually us)

Contrast socks - For more conservative guys with an edge

Check sock - Iconic style for the more traditional golfer.

All machine washable, and all 90% Pure New wool for comfort and a hint of Nylon to make them last longer.

The colours are out there we know, but that sometimes how we roll. And as they're usually under your trousers, we thought it's an extravagance anyone can get away with. Not only that, but it makes for a bit of banter half way round the course too which is never a bad thing.

So take a look at our range of premium quality woollen socks which are perfect for Xmas presents and don't forget we're doing a mix & match offer so you for only £24.95 you can have all 3 pairs - each one to suit a different mood.

if you have any colour suggestion then please get in contact as we'd like to hear from you.. they can literally produce anything. And we have plenty more in the pipeline...
