I created The Ashton in Gunmetal as a brand new colour for this year, offering a sophisticated, modern take on a classic favourite. Featuring a sleek gunmetal base, this sock combines boldness with subtlety, perfect for those who appreciate colour with a refined edge.
The Ashton shooting sock is one of our exclusive designs—ideal for anyone who wants their socks to add personality without overwhelming their outfit. This striking design is already making its mark as a fresh favourite. What makes The Ashton special is the incorporation of eight distinct colours in the turnover—the maximum possible—resulting in a standout sock that catches the eye.
The Gunmetal base provides a smooth, versatile foundation highlighted by shades of Gold, Brick Red, Spruce, Ivy Green, Brigade Red, Burnt Orange and London Blue. This carefully curated palette offers a modern, muted vibrancy that works effortlessly with both country and contemporary styles. Crafted from a durable Merino wool blend, The Ashton Gunmetal feels luxuriously soft and warm while delivering excellent longevity and easy care with machine washability. Proudly made in the UK, this sock is a signature piece from The Shooting Sock Company.
To keep our collection fresh and exclusive, each colourway typically runs for two years before being retired. The tri-colour garter—featuring Burnt Orange, Gunmetal, and London Blue —adds the perfect touch to the overall design.
The Ashton in Gunmetal is more than a sock—it’s a statement of timeless elegance, quality craftsmanship, and subtle yet bold style.
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.
