Marko John's socks - British-made with care

I was recently sent for review a lovely orange pair of socks by Marko John's. Unlike most of the socks we buy, these are made in Britain by a family-owned business that's been around since 1895. This seems to have been long enough for them to have built up the expertise needed to make a colourful and comfortable sock.

Made of 90% cotton, 10% man-made fibres, the socks are woven into a cylindrical shape and, at each change of colour, the weaving is stopped and tied off before the new colour is tied in. While this takes longer, it apparently results in stronger socks. Seamless toes add to the comfort. Each sock is individually checked and trimmed by hand before it is packed for delivery. Having worn them a couple of times now, I can confirm how comfortable they are.

Given the care and comfort built into them, they are reasonably-priced. Being British-made means that you have no excuse not to buy them - colours and patterns to suit every taste! I love mine.

These socks were sent to Grey Fox for review. As ever, I have reviewed them impartially in accordance to the principles set out above under the Sponsor tab.
