Black - Merino Wool
These knee-high socks are part of the iconic range of models produced by the Italian brand Gammarelli, exclusive tailors of the Pope since 1798.
These socks are made of merino wool, a particularly fine and soft wool that fits perfectly into smart shoes. The addition of nylon to the socks and the reinforcing of the toe and heel combine to ensure a better fit on your foot/leg in the long run.
For Gammarelli, the colour black is the colour of the priests. Sombre, elegant and discreet, it is a colour that you can combine with all your outfits without risking a faux pas, whether you are a priest or not! A must-have in your wardrobe that even has a story to tell. Worn tone on tone, black socks elongate the leg. With lighter shades black socks are more visible, they add a certain depth and presence to light-coloured outfits.
This model is only available as a knee-high (not mid-calf).
