GAMMARELLI
Black - Cotton Lisle
Black 100% cotton lisle mid-calf socks from Gammarelli, tailor to the Pope since 1798.
These black socks are must-haves for your wardrobe thanks to their understated and elegant style, but also because of their history. The shade of these black socks is one of 4 iconic dyes used by Gammarelli to colour the papacy’s socks and is itself worn exclusively by papal priests!
It's hard not to admire the fine workmanship that goes into these knee-high socks which are knitted in Italy from 100% cotton lisle, a high-quality Egyptian cotton. Reinforced at the toe and heel, these seamless socks have been knit loop by loop for extra comfort and a smooth finish.
Composition: 100% Cotton Lisle
Length: mid-calf (short)
