Black merino. Ribbed leg. Flatknit foot. Classico heirloom.

Knitted on a vintage Scott & Williams rib machine with help from my friend Danny, this is an heirloom construction featuring a 2x1 true rib leg with a jersey boot (flatknit) and finished with steam tumble and a light heat press. Please wash cold and lay flat dry to maintain original size. If washed warm, these socks will felt and shrink; however, they can be stretched back to form. These socks are relaxed and slouchy by design with no elastic.
