Thick wool socks made with an eco-friendly blend of recycled wool from clothing and virgin cotton made with leftover strands of cotton. They boast the generous thickness of wool socks but are more durable; perfect with boots for outdoor activities like camping and trekking.
The history of this Japanese sock brand began in 1950 just after World War II. Katsuji Nishiguchi founded the company with a single hand-operating knitting machine in Katsuragi, Nara prefecture. The brand's catchphrase 'Hakuhito omoi' conveys a deep consideration for the people who purchase and enjoy the brand's products. Everything, including the materials, designs, knitting methods and prices is thoroughly vetted. By demonstrating a commitment to high-quality natural materials and combining new and old technologies and decades of experience, Nishiguchi Kutsushita creates true timeless classics of incomparable quality and aesthetic distinction.
