Crafted from ultra-soft premium Polwarth wool, these ribbed socks are both thick and sturdy, yet surprisingly lightweight. Polwarth sheep are a unique breed, comprised of one-quarter Lincoln and three-quarters Merino lineage, known for their lustrous, soft, and fine wool. Nishiguchi has carefully chosen this blend to ensure the utmost fluffiness and softness. These socks provide luxurious warmth and comfort without feeling heavy, making them an irresistibly cozy choice for your feet.
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.
