Description

As founder and designer of The Shooting Sock Company Ltd, I’m proud to offer, since 2005, the largest range of shooting socks, all skillfully crafted and knitted in the UK. Following the success of our Extra Long Leg Harris socks in 2023, we’ve extended that exceptional fit to our classic Chessboard design with these extra long shooting socks, adding an extra 3" of leg length for superior coverage and comfort.

These socks come in elegant navy and soft ancient blue hues, effortlessly complementing a wide array of tweeds. Made in Great Britain from a premium blend of merino wool and acrylic, they feature a timeless 4x2 rib knit pattern that combines style with breathable comfort. The foot and heel are reinforced with durable nylon, designed to withstand the demands of your active outdoor lifestyle.

To enhance both functionality and style, choose from our optional garter ties in contrasting ancient blue and navy shades. This touch of colour contrast not only secures your socks in place but also adds a refined finishing detail to your traditional country attire.

Available in foot sizes 8 to 14.5, these extra long shooting socks are ideal for tall men seeking authentic heritage designs paired with outstanding fit and performance.

Delivery & Returns

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.

Sock Composition: 85% Merino Wool Acrylic Blend (50%/50%), 10% Nylon, 5% Lycra
