Description

Founded in 1950 in Japan's Nara Prefecture, Nishiguchi Kutsushita began with a single hand-operated knitting machine under the guidance of Katsuji Nishiguchi. Now led by the family's third generation, the company continues to pursue the same goal: producing socks that provide warmth, comfort and durability through high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

The collections are divided into several ranges — Boston, Prague, Oslo and Teni — each inspired by a different city and its unique identity. This model belongs to the Prague range, which focuses on understated designs that allow the quality of the materials and textures to take centre stage.

The Merino Wool High Socks are made from ultra-fine merino wool, renowned for its softness, fine fibres and natural temperature-regulating properties. Their delicate knit creates a supple, insulating and durable fabric. With their generous height of approximately 37 cm, they provide additional protection on colder days while remaining perfectly suited for everyday wear.

Thanks to the natural qualities of merino wool, these socks offer excellent breathability and effective moisture management. Their minimalist design and carefully crafted construction allow them to pair effortlessly with any outfit, from more formal looks to casual combinations with boots.

Why we selected them

The Merino Wool High Socks perfectly represent Nishiguchi Kutsushita's approach: a strong focus on premium materials, precise Japanese craftsmanship and timeless design. Their soft merino wool and generous height make them an ideal pair for winter days as well as everyday wear.
