The softness, strength and durability of genuine long staple Sea Island cotton (only grown in the West Indies) gives products made with it an inbuilt level of quality. Pringle of Scotland Sea Island Cotton Striped Socks are made in the United Kingdom with all the characteristics you would expect of quality hosiery. The socks are a half calf length, woven in a fine gauge, which makes them equally suitable for wearing with suits or more casual clothing. The fineness of the yarn and weave delivers a very well defined and accurate pattern, so the stripe design of these socks is sharp, with solid lines and colours. Accordingly, the socks have comfortable hand linked toes for smooth seams and a contrast thread embroidered Pringle lion set mid leg. An official WISICA (West Indian Sea Island Cotton Association) hologram is on every pair.(08/12)
