Description
As the designer behind the Ashton Airforce Blue Shooting Sock, I wanted to create something truly distinctive—an essence of boldness and personality knitted into every stitch.
The Ashton is not just a sock; it’s a statement. Featuring a deep Airforce Blue base, it masterfully blends eight striking colours—Bluebell, Coral, Cherry, Forest, Pine Green, Bison, and Sandstone—making it one of the most daring and visually dynamic socks in our collection. While the palette is bold, the colours are intentionally muted to ensure the Ashton pairs effortlessly with a variety of tweeds and classic country attire. This design pushes the limits of colour use in the turnover band, incorporating the maximum eight colours, to give you a sock that stands out on every shoot.
Crafted from a premium Merino wool blend, the Ashton offers unparalleled comfort and durability. It's a luxurious feel that performs, whether you’re out in the field or on your feet for extended periods. Plus, it’s machine washable, making care effortless without compromising quality. Each pair is proudly made in the UK, and to maintain exclusivity, every colourway enjoys a limited production run of just two years before retirement. The tri-colour garter—featuring Cherry, Airforce Blue, and Pine Green—adds the perfect finishing touch to this signature piece from The Shooting Sock Company.
The Ashton Airforce Blue isn’t just a best-seller; it’s a design that speaks to those who love to express themselves boldly and elegantly.
Our socks are knitted from a variety of yarns, all of which are selected for their performance.
A Merino wool and acrylic blend is an ideal yarn choice for shooting socks, combining the best of both fibres. Merino wool offers excellent warmth, breathability, and natural moisture-wicking properties, keeping feet dry and comfortable during long days. The addition of acrylic enhances durability and elasticity, helping the socks maintain their shape and resist wear over time. Using Italian spun premium yarn ensures a soft, high-quality finish with consistent strength, making these socks both luxurious and long-lasting for all your adventures in the field.
