Crafted in the historic Nara Prefecture of Japan, these socks blend linen and cotton for a medium-weight feel that's both breathable and durable. The thoughtful balance of materials and decades of expertise ensures a product that transcends typical hosiery standards. With a mid-calf height and a vibrant color, these socks are designed for both comfort and style. Ideal for everyday wear, they are easy to care for, simply wash cold and hang dry.
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.
