Shortly after opening its doors in 1937, the Pantherella brand began specialising in the manufacture of novelty socks for men. Produced using a bespoke machine, their designs are lightweight and free from uncomfortable seams. Recognition of their excellence came swiftly thanks to three key principles, which have been upheld to this day: the origin of the raw materials, design and quality. hollington has selected this style of socks for you, made from a blend of merino wool and cotton and finished by hand to offer you the very best quality available. The premium-quality merino wool, combed in Italy, is distinguished by the fineness of its yarn (19.5 microns) and ensures exceptional durability, which is highly appreciated in everyday wear. It is combined with very long cotton fibres, mercerised using the process invented in 1844 by the Englishman John Mercer, which standardises the thickness of the yarn and enhances both its strength and elasticity. Knitted on a 200-needle machine, these socks are soft, breathable and free from uncomfortable seams, whilst offering excellent thermoregulatory properties: merino wool, a favourite amongst outdoor sports enthusiasts, keeps you warm whilst effectively wicking away moisture, ensuring your feet stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Their contrasting colour at the heel and toes brightens up any outfit, whether paired with jeans and casual shoes or with more stylish clothing. A design by Pantherella, true to its three core principles.
