These are Boardroom Socks over-the-calf dress socks in pink dots on navy, men’s size 8-12. Over-the-calf length stays up on its own through a full day without a garter and without sliding down under a trouser cuff — the reason people who wear a suit daily buy this length once and then buy nothing else.
The pattern is knit into the sock rather than printed on it, so it will not fade or crack with washing. The yarn is combed cotton with a small amount of stretch fibre for recovery, which is what keeps the leg from bagging out after a few wears. Cotton breathes better than the synthetic blends most dress socks use, so they wear comfortably in warm weather as well as under a winter suit.
Boardroom Socks knits in North Carolina, and every listing in this line states “Made in USA” outright. American sock knitting largely moved offshore in the 1990s; the mills still running in the Carolinas are the reason a domestically made dress sock is still an option at all.
