In addition to FIloscozia The Original, Cotton and Wool, in some models these natural elements are mixed with small quantities of high quality synthetic products selected by our supplier, strictly in small quantities to ensure maximum fit in safety. 

To guarantee maximum benefits, making natural and safe products. 

Below are the three elements that are used in our socks. 

 

Suppliers of About Socks realize socks with natural products (Cotton, Wool) and add only in some models, small quantities of high quality synthetic components, to ensure maximum safety of its products.

To know is important; we always want to share everything with our customers, the quality of our products, the transparency in our relationship with you. 

 

Polyamide: 

Nylon, also called Polyamide or Polyamide, is a product used during the Second World War, as part of the parachute, when the war ended polyamide began to be used in the production of stockings, replacing silk. Polyamides are polymers. They can be of natural origin (for example silk and wool) or of synthetic origin (such as nylon). In 1935, the first synthetic polyamide was discovered by Du Pont, which began marketing it in 1938 under the name Nylon 6.6. In the following years, Nylon began to be used for the production of socks and derivatives (pantyhose). The main benefit of this fibre is that it allows to obtain beautiful, bright and resistant socks. 

 

Elastham : 

Elastham, or Elastam, Elastane or Spandex in the United States. The first studies on polyurethane began in the 1930s in the Bayer research laboratories. In 1939 Paul Schlack obtained a high molecular weight polymer that allows to obtain fibre characterized by strong stretches and elastic properties. Elastomers give socks and stockings a new fit thanks to their elasticity. 

Its main characteristic is the high elasticity accompanied by the reentry force, keeping these properties unaltered over time. The elastomeric thread can extend up to eight times its initial length and return to the initial condition as soon as the tension is loosened. Fit and comfort are the first and most appreciated consequences of this property. Lycra is a type of Elastham. 

 

Acrylic : 

Acrylic is a very special synthetic fabric, in fact it is the most similar to wool: it is light, heat-insulating, warm and soft to the touch, but does not felt; for this reason, acrylic is often spun (in small quantities) together with wool to improve its properties.
As a term, acrylic gathers a family of synthetic fibres obtained from the polymerization of acrylonitrile. It is defined as true Acrylic, the fibre that has 85% by weight of the monomers present in the polymer chain consisting of acrylonitrile. The first acrylic fibrewas Orlon in 1950; two years later, again in the United States, Acrilan was launched on the market. In Italy the first acrylic fibre produced was the Leacril (1959). The Dralon is covered by a German patent. 

Acrylic is mainly made of flocks with a soft and voluminous appearance, making it feel soft and warm to the touch.

Linking by hand 

Linking is a processing phase in the textile sector. 

Hand linking makes it possible to have an elegant, artisan, comfortable and well-made product. 

Hand linking means exactly joining the ranks of the tip with those of the foot. The effect created by the skilled hands of the craftsman creates a comfort without comparisons, in fact with hand linking, if wisely applied, no overlapping points are formed that could annoy the touch. A quality hand piece gives the feeling as if there was no “seam”, as if it were a single piece. 

Hand linking About Socks creates greater comfort, less complaint due to rubbing inside the shoe, more comfort in use and superior quality of the product, a unique HAND MADE product. Craftsmanship, knowledge. Handmade Made in Italy. All the knowledge of our craftsmen located in the most important district of the men’s socks, make the product unique, of excellent quality. Always artisan and never industrial. 

REAL WELLNESS, TRUE ITALIAN LIFE STYLE. 

 

Linking made by machine 

Some of our socks are linking in a crafted way using the “Red seam system”, a mechanical seaming system created in a traditional way by our manufacturer.
Each processing is always artisan and never industrial, always 100% Italian, a true Italian Lifestyle experience.
