A little-known fact, but vampires are actually as allergic to the argyle pattern as they are to crosses and garlic, which is why Burlington have named these Whitby Extra Soft Argyle Socks after the North Yorkshire fishing village where Dracula was written…or maybe not. What we do know is that Burlington Whitby Extra Soft Argyle Socks are ankle length and classically made with the traditional diamond intarsia knit. They have a wonderfully warm brushed finish, hand linked toes for smooth seams and of course, feature the famous metal Burlington button on each pair – not guaranteed to ward off bloodsucking attacks, but they do add to the appeal of this venerable American-born brand.(05/12)Disclaimer: Unfortunately, we are unable to ship Burlington products to the United States.
