The story of men's socks: from Sumerians to the present day

The origin of the socks dates back to the time of the Sumerians. Their socks were not spun like our modern socks but were made of canvas. They were exclusively for men since they were part of the soldiers' uniforms. During the Renaissance, valuable materials were used for socks like silk, cashmere and fabrications were enriched with fine embroidery.

Types and lenghts : from ankle socks to long socks…but never without !

Up to the calf or up to the knee ?

The short sock or mid sock tends to be banned because it is considered unattractive. Socks that come below the knee are necessary as ankle socks and invisible socks to wear with short pants during sunny days. The most important thing is to never wear shoes without socks!

Depending on the season, the materials also change: for his men's socks, Brucle uses only the best biological cottons that comply with the most stringent quality tests, guaranteeing the use of colors and non-toxic substances, also certified by his contact with the delicate skin of the neonates.

This is the most stringent standard in the world with the most restrictive measures. Because style is important but the well-being of your foot is more important.

The winter collection is made of warm cotton, a comfortable, natural, warm and hypoallergenic material, mixed with a small percentage of elastane to give more elasticity and resistance to the product. For summer socks and ankle socks we use mercerized cotton absorbent, soft and light.

In our Brucle online store you will find a wide range of original socks and ankle socks 100% Made in Italy.
