Description

The Whitley sock has long been one of our most beloved and enduring designs, embodying traditional craftsmanship and subtle sophistication. Knitted in the UK from a premium blend of merino wool and acrylic, this sock marries durability with soft comfort, ensuring it stands up to rigorous outdoor use while keeping your feet comfortable all day long. The subtle geometric pattern is delicately accented by tri-colour detail and a contrasting tri-colour garter, creating a timeless design that pairs effortlessly with classic shooting tweeds and knitwear. Available in four sizes (5.5 to 14) to guarantee the perfect fit, each colourway is produced in a limited two-year run, emphasizing exclusivity and quality. Introducing Aubergine—a rich, deeply compelling black-purple shade that builds upon the previous season’s success with the Harris in Aubergine. This luxurious base colour is elegantly combined with the warm tones of crushed raspberry and the soft neutrality of toasted almond, delivering a tasteful yet bold palette. The interplay of these tones offers depth and vibrancy without sacrificing the understated refinement so cherished in shooting attire. Ideal for the person who seeks a sock that balances tradition with a contemporary edge, Aubergine adds a new dimension to your collection.

Care Guidelines

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
