Nishiguchi Kutsushita Wool Ribbed Socks Navy

Made out of ultra-soft premium wool, these ribbed socks are thick and sturdy yet lightweight. Polwarth is a breed of sheep that is one-quarter Lincoln and three-quarters Merino. They are the pedigree of sheep with lustrous, soft, fine wool. Nishiguchi has selected this blend for its ultimate fluffiness and softness. These socks are thick and irresistibly cozy — embracing your feet with warmth and comfort without the weight.

The history of this Japanese sock brand began in 1950 just after World War II. Katsuji Nishiguchi founded the company with a single hand-operating knitting machine in Katsuragi, Nara prefecture. The brand’s catchphrase “Hakuhito omoi” conveys a deep consideration for the people who purchase and enjoy the brand’s products. Everything, including the materials, designs, knitting methods and prices is thoroughly vetted. By demonstrating a commitment to high-quality natural materials and combining new and old technologies and decades of experience, Nishiguchi Kutsushita creates true timeless classics of incomparable quality and aesthetic distinction.
