Academy Green - Cotton Lisle
The academy green knee-high socks are the most iconic Mazarin socks, from the official tailor of the Academie Francaise.
These socks, with their unique history, are made of 100% cotton lisle and are finished to a high quality: remeshed stitch by stitch, reinforced heel and toe.
Academy green is a fairly dark colour and it's Mazarin's most iconic shade. It is inspired by the green silk threads on the green suits worn by members of the Academie Francaise. The quality of the cotton lisle makes the colour appear very intense, while the texture becomes very silky.
These green socks are undoubtedly the most legendary socks that you could find! A staple piece in any wardrobe.
