Refined, shiny – Fil d’Ecosse
I am made from mercerised cotton. Mercerisation is a cotton processing procedure which gives me a silky, wash-resistant shine and also makes me stronger. Mercerised cotton is also more colourfast and creates very little lint. Polyamide in the form of Lycra® is found in my toe and heel areas to provide additional strengthening.
So why is mercerised cotton also known as Fil d’Ecosse? It’s very simple: the Scot John Mercer invented the mercerisation process. This is why mercerised cotton is also called Fil d’Ecosse. A Scot in French – rather difficult for me as an Italian!
Extra-wide cuff
My extra-wide cuff, also known as an English cut, prevents me from slipping down. Men’s legs can be slim or broad. Calves may take many different shapes, making it hard for us knee socks to stay in place without slipping or cutting in to your legs. A little tip for you: we knee socks are least likely to slip if we can encircle the calf. When choosing your sock size make sure that they are long enough, and do not simply rely on your shoe size.
Ribbing for a natural feel
My ribbed structure is elastic and nestles against your skin without being obtrusive. The ribbed structure is fine and elegant, ensuring that you look great for every occasion. Promise!
Made in Italy
I come from a small sock manufacturer in northeast Milan, which makes me Italian. They create high-quality socks such as me with a great passion for detail. Three siblings are running the business in second generation ensuring that lots of socks turn out as good as me.
Tradition & progress
In November 1998, the future founders of BLACKSOCKS were seeking the perfect socks. My Italian manufacturer put me into the running together with the Classic calf sock. The selection process was not easy, but I performed well. My BLACKSOCKS career began with the company’s foundation, and today tens of thousands of people can be found standing on me. As in any career, I am continuing to develop, but at heart I have remained the same: an elegant knee sock for gentlemen.
100% skin-friendly & allergy-tested
I am good for you, your feet and your skin: I have been tested and I meet the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
This standard says that I am 100% skin-friendly and allergy-tested. We often forget that socks are worn directly against the skin, in a damp and warm climate subjected to friction.
