Egyptian Cotton Ribbed Socks

The owner of Nishiguchi Kutsushita once said that these were the best socks he would ever make, so I bought them in almost every color. These are indeed incredible socks. They may seem basic, but the luxurious texture of these socks is extraordinary, and the yarn has a luster to it that makes these look luxe. Buy a pair--you will be so happy you did!

Nishiguchi Kutsushita has created an incredibly soft and supple yarn from the extra long, extra soft Giza fiber threads. There’s simply no other material — cotton or otherwise — that feels quite like Giza cotton.

Nishiguchi Kutsushita is one of three brand names produced and sold by Knitwin, a family owned sock manufacturing company in Nara, Japan.

Knitwin was founded by Katsuji Nishiguchi in 1950 with just one hand-operated knitting machine. Now operating under third generation director Isato Nishiguchi, Knitwin has evolved and expanded into a sock manufacturing company housing over 130 knitting machines. Their team consists of industry veterans with over 50 years of experience, as well as new generation talents in their 30s.

Their mission is "making your day extraordinary," which they accomplish with their incredible attention to every detail of their socks, from design to materials to manufacturing. They make the best socks I have ever owned, and I'm a big sock nerd.
