Part of the company’s Modern Collection, these elegant men’s Pantherella Hopton Houndstooth Highlight Merino Wool Socks use bold design cues and modern colour palettes to give tradition a contemporary twist. Reinforced hand linked toes for smooth seams, extended reinforced heels are used, plus larger than average, non-pinching elastic tops to ensure high levels of comfort. Merino wool socks, even lightweight ones like these, are all-year all-rounders due to the quality fibre’s natural body temperature regulating properties. Pantherella’s exclusive worsted-spun merino yarn is a very fine 19.5 micron incorporating 10% nylon giving it extra durability for everyday wear, before knitting on one of their Leicester-based 200-needle machines.
