Welcome to The Shooting Sock Company - a small, family-run business nestled in the beautiful rural heart of Herefordshire. Founded in 2005 by Lucy, who brings a rich background in design, textiles, and retail, we are dedicated to crafting shooting socks like no other.
From the very beginning, we were trailblazers - the first brand to venture into bolder colours and patterns in shooting socks. Our ethos is simple: to produce something that looks beautiful, supplies exceptional comfort, and lasts. This blend of style, performance, and durability has set us apart in the world of fieldsports hosiery.
Our success stems from living the lifestyle for which our products are designed. Based in rural Herefordshire, with Lucy’s husband Jason working on a farm and running their own small family shoot, we know the demands of country life firsthand. Their three daughters have grown up immersed in traditional farming and countryside pursuits - from rearing pheasants and partridge to fishing and breeding their cockers. With deep roots in agriculture and fieldsports, we understand the beating heart of the British countryside. Protecting its ways and helping it thrive is not just our business - it’s our way of life. We live it, breathe it, and are passionate about securing its future.
Our passion is deeply rooted in British manufacture, heritage, and the rich traditions of fieldsports. We pride ourselves on offering something truly unique to the world of shooting socks. Each pair is lovingly knitted using only the finest yarns - from Italian-spun merino wool and British-dyed cotton to luxurious Scottish cashmere sourced from the heritage mill Todd & Duncan.
Collaborating closely with some of the oldest hosiery knitters in the UK, our small-scale production runs guarantee exceptional quality, comfort, durability, and style in every pair. Our socks are designed not only to perform but also to endure the demands of the field while reflecting the timeless elegance of countryside pursuits.
Every year, we exhibit at the renowned Game Fair, where you’ll find us on Gunmakers Row, surrounded by some of the most iconic shooting brands. This event marks the highlight of our year - a monumental effort, but incredibly rewarding, as it allows us to connect with our fantastic customers from across the globe.
Looking ahead, The Shooting Sock Company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of design and innovation in knitting techniques. Our mission is to continue championing longstanding British manufacturing, preserving craft skills, and securing the future of this cherished industry for generations to come.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
