Luxury dress socks from Pringle of Scotland, these 100% Mercerised Cotton Rib Socks have the fineness, smoothness and silky finesse that is necessary for quality formal shoes, which usually have a more narrow, closer fit. The mercerisation process is an expensive one, but turns cotton into a far more luxurious and stronger fabric.The distinctive mercerised sheen of these true sock/half calf Pringle of Scotland socks makes them a sophisticated choice for men who prefer a lighter pair of dress socks, with a well-defined ribbed pattern, and bear the embroidered Pringle lion at the ankle. Of course, they are finished with non-irritating hand linked toes for smooth seams.(08/13)
