Environmentally Friendly

Having been around for more than a century, we know it's up to all of us to make sure generations to come can enjoy the great outdoors. We work for environment-friendly practices from yarn to feet. We care about our community and the impact we have here. We also make socks from sustainable fibers such as Merino Wool, Coolmax Ecomade, Thermolite Ecomade, Organic Cotton, and more!

WASTE REDUCTION: A COMMITMENT TO RECYCLING

We've minimized waste in our production process by employing fewer materials, such as reducing the use of plastic wrapping. Our commitment extends to keeping items like packaging, boxes, magazines, plastic films, and yarn cones out of landfills through recycling. Additionally, we responsibly recycle machine oils, steel machinery, and electronics. Yarn waste finds a second life as eco-fiberfill stuffing and is recycled into fiber products, including car trunk liners.
