Mercerised cotton socks

Benefits of over-the-calf mercerised cotton socks

Over-the-calf mercerised cotton socks deliver a neat fit, lasting comfort and impeccable discretion. Knitted in Fil d’Écosse, they offer a subtle sheen and a soft hand. Their over-the-calf height keeps the leg covered in every situation—sitting or on the move—so there’s never any bare skin between trouser and shoe.

For everyday wear as well as formal dress, the fine gauge lets the foot breathe and follows the ankle without constricting. Fil d’Écosse is valued for its colour stability and dependable wear. A carefully finished ribbed cuff helps the sock stay in place, while flat linking at the toe reduces friction points.

This style pairs naturally with tailoring or chinos, and it’s easy to match thanks to a wide palette—from deep classics to bolder shades. It’s the discreet accessory that completes the look with precision, from the office to special occasions.

By choosing long Fil d’Écosse socks, you’re opting for a crisp, controlled silhouette with the comfort and durability you expect from a well-made piece.
