Our socks are manufactured near Milan in Northern Italy, by a second generation family operation, which is regarded as one of the finest sock artisans in the world. The finished products are then sent to an automated, state-of-the-art shipping center, where the socks are packaged and shipped worldwide.
All of our socks come in a wide variety of sizes from small (shoe size 5) to extra large (shoe size up to 14). If the size is not right, you can return them for a different size.
We use the highest quality of yarns for your socks that are available in the marketplace. The workmanship is unrivalled. With each new shipment of yarn, 3 pair of “test” socks are produced and tested for chafing, color-fastness and durability before the entire yarn shipment is used. Each test pair is washed and worn at least 20 times to make sure the yarn quality is superb. If the test socks do not pass the test, the yarn is sent back to the mill. The socks are dyed in certified Oekotex colors to make sure the dye will not harm your skin. The final product is then knitted as one piece, sewn together in the upper-toe area and ironed.
A Perfect Sock for Your Every Need - Calf socks, BLACKSOCKS bestsellers
The mainstay and bestseller of our broad line of black socks is our men’s calf socks, equally appropriate for every day, leisure or business. These are produced from an exclusive Peruvian Pima cotton. The long fibers that make this cotton so special ensure that your socks will pill less while remaining more durable for longer wear. And as no one wants saggy socks, the fibers are blended with a touch of Lycra (1%) and Polymide (18%) to provide structure and shape. This special blend gives the socks super powers of chafe resistance, non-slippage, color fastness and odor absorption.
Knee Socks - Classic hand-sewn craftsmanship
Perhaps a classic knee sock is more your style. Ours are 100% mercerized cotton, which gives them added strength, smoothness and an attractive subtle luster. The high quality of the yarn ensures durability, yet we still double reinforce the heel area, because no man wants a naked heel. And we give the same attention to your toes, hand sewing that seam to make it as strong as possible. How many of your other socks have that same attention to detail?
Athletic Socks - Shorty Sports Socks
Sometimes you really don’t want your socks to show. Our low-cut athletic socks are for sporty activities of all kinds. They are designed for runners, golfers, bikers, hikers and casual walking, with sneakers or the specialized athletic (or non-athletic shoes) of your choice. Since no one wants to worry about where their sock is, we’ve added a soft terrycloth sole to prevent it slipping down into your shoe or sliding while running. And enriched the 87% cotton fibers with lycra and polyamide to hold their shape. Reinforced at heel and toe. Made in Morocco.
Cashmere Silk Socks - Treat Yourself
Add some luxury to your life with our cashmere silk socks. Elegant and beautiful, they provide all the comfort you expect from cashmere. It’s time to treat your feet right. The socks are made of 56% cashmere and 25% silk and are a favorite among our Blacksocks customers. Once you try the Blacksocks’ cashmere socks, you’ll never turn back. We love these socks - you will too. Made in Italy of course.
Business Light – Smooth, Light Trouser Socks
Unlike the classic calf sock, the business light trouser sock is not ribbed, providing a smoother feel. It is slightly thinner and designed for warmer climates or if you prefer a lighter sock in general. However, it is not flimsy or see-through. There is body to these lightweight socks and they are ready for everyday use. The fine structure provides a high comfort of wear. The socks are primarily mercerized cotton, with a reinforcement in the heel and toe areas of strong polyamide and lycra. The mercerized yarn provides a silky, wash-resistant sheen and high durability.
