Nishiguchi uses thread spun with a fine blend of kid mohair and wool. These socks are soft and very light, yet will not disappoint when it comes to keeping your feet warm. Nishiguchi thought of customers in snowy countries when designing this unique combination of sock and legwarmer; pile weave envelops the feet, and the ankles are insulated with a double weave, just like leg warmers.

How to enjoy your socks to keeping your days extraordinary:

 

Natural materials such as wool are prone to wear as a result of friction and repeated washings.  Enjoy your favorite socks longer with proper care.

Wash your socks by hand or use a laundry net when using washing machine. Do not use tumble dryer.

 

※ Threads made from animal fiber are vulnerable to heat and prone to wear due to friction. If there is a hole in your favourite sock, darn it.

Darning is known in Europe as the process for mending fabric. Colorful yarn was combined to cover holes, creating a practical and beautiful, one of a kind piece of work. For best results, darn the area when you notice some thinning. This is the perfect way to sustain your socks for a long time!
