Excellent comfort of wear

In different colours

Our calf socks are Kassensturz test winners and the bestsellers of the BLACKSOCKS range.

They are made of one of the most high-quality cotton types in the world: Pima cotton - also called „the silk of South America“. This cotton is characterised by its high stability and tensile strength. Thanks to the cotton’s long fibres, the socks become linty less quickly and are more durable.

Our classic calf socks: available not only in black, but also in navy...

Favourite & millionaire

Classic calf socks

Back in 1999, we launched the sockscription, a completely new idea designed to free men from sock stress. In 2008 – thanks to you – we have a good reason to celebrate: The delivery of our one millionth pair of calf socks!

At first, our vision of a world free of sock stress was dismissed as crazy, but word soon spread and a growing number of satisfied customers helped to carry the idea of a sock subscription out into the world. We now supply socks to 60...

The smooth light one

Business light

Unlike the classical calf socks, the Business light is not ribbed, is significantly thinner and yet hard-wearing and opaque. The high proportion of mercerised cotton – also known as fil d’Ecosse – provides a silky, wash-resistant sheen and high durability.

The socks are manufactured in northern Italy. They meet the requirements of the Oeko-Tex 100 standard and are thus non-irritating to the skin and allergy-tested.

Like all our products, the Busin...

Put them on or chuck them out?

When do your socks start to fade?

Faded flowers end up in the compost. Sour milk goes down the drain. And old socks? Faded, colourless and bobbly ones?

They normally end up back on our feet. Because people don't think that socks have an expiry date too. But there comes a time when you need to clear even your super-comfy favourite socks out of the drawer.

Put them on or chuck them out? Following are a few stages in the life of a sock which should make this dec...
