Black - Cotton Lisle
Have a look at these beautiful mid-calf socks in 100% cotton lisle from the Italian brand Gammarelli, also known as the tailors of the Pope since 1798.
Sober, elegant and discreet, this colour is a must-have in any wardrobe not only because of its shade, but also its history. In fact, this is one of the 4 emblematic colours of this brand, specialised in ecclesiastical clothing. Black is the colour worn by priests!
These socks are made in Italy from 100% cotton lisle, a high-quality cotton that comes from Egypt. You will love the delicate finishing touches, like the reinforcement at the toe and heel or the stitch by stitch remeshing to avoid a central seam at the toes.
