Military Socks

These ecru-colored military socks were specially ordered from a long-established factory in Wakayama Prefecture, which has a history of over 100 years since its establishment.

Carefully knitted from 100% cotton, they provide excellent moisture absorption and release. The hollow structure of the cotton fibers offers natural heat retention while maintaining a dry, cool feel.

Twisted yarn is used to prevent the "twisting" common in socks, ensuring a secure fit on the foot. Additionally, the natural twist inherent in cotton fibers enhances strength, providing sufficient durability for everyday use.

They embody the functional beauty derived from their military origins and the practicality that has supported the lives of craftsmen for generations.

As one of the few "100% cotton military socks" handed down to the present day, these socks, with their background in military and workwear history, exude a distinct presence in both fashion and lifestyle.

Gunsoku (Military Socks): Their roots trace back to Japanese military socks from before and during the war. Designed primarily for durability and functionality as "tabi-shaped socks," they consistently supported the feet of soldiers and laborers. After the war, they became an essential item for craftsmen working in factories and on sites. "Gunsoku" transitioned from military to workwear, taking on a new role and becoming deeply ingrained in Japanese foot culture.
