In the Borders of Scotland…
CRAFTMANSHIP
Hidden away in the borders of Scotland is a wonderful sock manufacturer who makes our shooting socks. Their experience and craftsmanship is second to none. I recently visited their factory and was overwhelmed by the incredible skill and man hours that go into producing the finest Shooting socks that I have come across – and I have the pleasure of working with them.
I have taken a few photographs from inside the factory. I was shown the whole process from the yarn selections right through to the pressing of the socks. For a lot of the socks, the tops are so intricate that they are woven separately and then linked on by hand – which for me is what makes them the luxury garment that they are. We choose to use Merino wool because not only is it luxuriously soft, its warm and hard-wearing. All of the socks have a reinforced foot, which also adds to the durability.
Our Merino shooting socks and garters are available online, if you have any special requirements then please contact us at customercare@tomlane.co and we will do our best to accommodate you.
