Description

Step into vibrant tradition with The Whitley, one of our most enduring designs since 2014. This season, we’re excited to introduce a bold new colourway that combines a striking orchid purple with a subtle lichen pattern on a classic linen background.

I personally design each pair, and they are lovingly knitted here in the UK from a durable, machine-washable merino and acrylic blend, giving you breathable warmth and lasting comfort for every outing.

Key features include:

  • Stunning tri-colour symmetrical pattern featuring orchid, lichen green, and linen shades
  • Available in sizes 5.5 to 14.5, ensuring a perfect fit for all
  • Comes with a matching lichen green garter tie, designed to complement the sock beautifully
  • Hard-wearing yet soft yarn blend for durability and comfort

Since 2005, The Shooting Sock Company has proudly offered expertly designed and uniquely British shooting socks, carefully crafted to meet the needs of fieldsports enthusiasts who appreciate quality and style.

Add a splash of colour to your shooting kit with The Whitley Orchid — a perfect balance of heritage, craftsmanship, and vibrant design, available exclusively from The Shooting Sock Company.

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
