Story Pro tip: get your feet in these Merino socks There’s nothing worse than the combo of bad weather and bad socks. The Elgin Wool Sock seeks to eliminate that possibility with a versatile Merino wool blend and cushioned sole for extra comfort. The good folks at Kestin say that these socks only pass through six pairs of hands during production, so the quality is at an all-time high. Features Cushioned sole for extra comfort Materials 41% wool, 41% acrylic, 17% polyamide, 1% elastane Made in Scotland Sizing The Kestin Elgin Merino Wool Sock fits sizes 8-11 UK About Kestin Hare Scotland’s rugged landscape and climate have birthed a number of downright historic icons of menswear—from the fishermen’s sweaters still worn widely today, to handsome Harris Tweed. Out of that same tradition comes Kestin, a Scottish designer whose founder put in more than twenty years at Burberry and Nigel Cabourn before going out on his own. Kestin is known to study and dissect vintage Scottish pieces before working on each new collection. The results are contemporary designs with details and construction that harken back to Scottish classics—many constructed in the U.K. from durable organic materials. So you get the ruggedness anglers in Inverness would approve of, with a handsome and clean look that’s fitting for everyday wear. We’ll toast some of our finest whisky to that.
