London Sock Co. Retro Striped Socks
London Sock Co.'s Retro Stripe Collection draws from vintage athletic wear, bringing the timeless appeal of retro varsity-inspired stripes into everyday rotation. Knitted from a soft organic cotton blend with a comfortable ribbed construction, the mid-calf socks strike the balance between nostalgic sport styling and modern versatility. Their understated design pairs just as naturally with broken-in denim and suede sneakers as it does with loafers, chinos, or weekend shorts. Produced using carbon-free manufacturing and hand-finished for a refined feel, the Retro Stripe Collection is the finishing touch to a great outfit.
