Mid-calf socks in Linen

Linen socks

These are the mid-calf (short) linen socks from the Bresciani summer range, the ideal summer socks if you are looking for freshness.

Linen is a warm weather material as it keeps feet cool and dry and softens with every wash.

Linen socks are very light and have a mottled look thanks to their particular fibres that give them that elegant yet casual look.

# Linen Socks for Warm Seasons

Linen socks are the quintessential summer socks. In warm seasons, you might be tempted to wear your shoes barefoot… Without socks, this increases sweating and the growth of bacteria inside the shoe, which can cause fungal infections and unpleasant odors. Wearing socks in summer is therefore highly recommended for hygiene reasons. Opt for noble and lightweight materials like linen. Linen allows you to wear socks in summer without compromising breathability.

Indeed, it is a natural material that is extremely breathable and very lightweight. The nature of the fiber lets air pass through, which prevents the foot from being isolated under the material. Linen also provides excellent moisture regulation. It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture. Thus, pure linen socks are particularly suited to hot and tropical climates, but should be avoided in cold seasons.

While linen tends to wrinkle on other garments, it remains well stretched on socks.

# Durable Linen Socks

An exceptional craftsmanship for an incredible, comfortable, and durable pair of linen socks.

Contrary to many beliefs, linen is a durable material! This is mainly because the material does not “pill” like wool. In this sense, material loss is minimal. Furthermore, linen fibers are on average ten times longer than cotton fibers, which ensures better abrasion resistance. In terms of comfort, lightweight linen socks are once again advantageous compared to other materials. While cotton fibers can lose their shape with washing, linen softens and retains its form, even though the material may feel rough at first. Finally, like other sock models, we have reinforced these linen socks with a portion of polyamide. This synthetic thread, known for its exceptional wear resistance, is used in boat moorings, protective gear, etc. Here, it strengthens the entire linen sock with a small proportion (only 5% is enough) to ensure better durability.

The pairs of linen socks are also reinforced at the toe and heel to provide greater resistance to natural wear. They are also hand-linked stitch by stitch at these two ends, ensuring the comfort of having no seams at the toe area. These exceptional finishes thus guarantee the longevity of linen socks.

# Linen Socks, Ideal for Caring for Your Feet

The processing of linen produces a unique plant fiber, renowned for millennia for its many health benefits. Linen is even the oldest textile! In ancient Egypt, the material was a symbol of purity. Linen was extensively used to make tunics and bandages because, unlike cotton which poorly wicks fluids, linen dries very quickly. This helped promote healing and prevent infections. A noble material, linen has endured through the ages and remains very popular in the textile field.

Linen socks are ideal for protecting your feet because they are made from a healthy material with several properties that promote hygiene and health. Pure linen socks are antifungal and antibacterial, which helps prevent infections, odors, and bacteria. They are also hypoallergenic. Linen does not irritate your skin and does not cause allergic reactions or irritation. Linen socks are perfect for sensitive feet. Lightweight socks that provide softness and comfort.

# Linen socks, ideal as summer socks

Wearing socks is always an opportunity to create unique combinations. From an aesthetic point of view, linen socks are perfectly suited to the season. Linen being the quintessential summer material, we decided to offer a trendy sock. The summer period is always a chance to wear bright and lighter colors in your outfits (such as with the old rose, off-white, or azure blue models), an aspect we have taken into account.

Our men's linen sock models are perfect as summer socks. We offer plain and elegant socks, but the mottled texture and slightly lighter areas almost make them patterned socks. You can thus create many combinations with both formal and casual outfits.

# Easy care for your pair of linen socks

Like the lightness of this material, linen care is very easy! You can machine wash your linen socks without any problem, at 30 or 40°C and with a spin speed of up to 1,200 rpm (a standard cotton cycle is sufficient, for example). For drying, you can use a tumble dryer, but we recommend air drying to preserve the natural shape of the socks and the quality of their linen fibers.
