These meticulously crafted socks from RoToTo showcase the art of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Made in Nara Prefecture, each pair balances a thoughtful mix of cotton, washi, nylon, and polyester, resulting in a medium-weight, heathered texture that offers both comfort and durability. Designed with care and skill, these socks are perfect for those seeking quality and heritage in their wardrobe. They are best cared for with cold washes and air drying to maintain their unique finish.
From the brand: Everyone assumes that modern socks are just blasted out by hosiery robots somewhere humid with cheap labor. The truth is that knitting machines are complicated, and required highly skilled labor to run; and that there is a wide spectrum of these machines in use out there.
RoToTo works with factories around the Nara Prefecture and Goryocho village. Sock making began there over 100 years ago with a single machine brought home from the USA. Every one of their socks are careful balance between yarns, machines, and craftspeople. Even the most state-of-the art machines require operators who understands the nuances of the product being made.
