Anonymous Ism knows how to make a proper sock. This pair is knitted in Japan using a chunky five-colour mix that gives a textured, slubby look. The green tones are rich and earthy, making them easy to pair with heavy boots or low-top trainers. They are cut to an 11.5-inch crew length and finished with a classic rib knit. Because they are mostly cotton with a touch of polyester and spandex, they hold their shape and stay firmly on your calf without slipping down by lunchtime. These are thick, substantial socks designed for colder days or when you just want some extra cushioning underfoot. They feel incredibly soft but have that durable, hardwearing weight you expect from premium Japanese knitwear.
