Golden Era Socks
Third
AVAILABLE IN
I have worn and made a few pairs of socks in my time. I have had really good ones, I have had bang-average ones and, let’s face it, everyone has had really awful ones. However, our Golden Era socks are about as close to sock perfection as we can get.
Our socks pay homage to the socks worn by American sports stars and college students in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. The socks were always off-white, with coloured stripes across the top for the team or college that they represented. These socks are always seen peeping out from a pair of loafers or jeans on those amazing fashion photos from the era.
Our socks are made in Scotland by the lovely Steve in a shed (genuinely). Each pair passes through his hands for him to approve. No mass-making poor quality stuff for us. Oh no! Our socks are made from a really bouncy, fluffy and comfortable yarn that Steve then turns into wonderful socks. They feature a hefty, cushioned sole, a compression strap so that your socks don’t slip down and a ribbed leg for a comfortable fit.
The classic third socks are back for 2026, but with a slight difference. The socks come in an updated dove grey which is more of a reflection of the Accrington summer sky… always an optimist! They are then finished with the two classic navy blue stripes and one off-white stripe.
If you fancy stocking up on Golden Era or wool socks, you can mix and match any three pairs for just £33, sounds good to me… and your feet.
83% cotton. 16% polyamide. 1% elastane.
