This is a sock that should only be worn on special occasions. We hereby declare having cold feet a special occasion. Nishiguchi Kutsushita blended kid mohair with wool to create a sock that's luxurious on one hand and practical on the other. It's substantial enough to insulate and light enough to wear all day—on any occasion—without bulk.

The socks are knit in Nara, the prefecture that produces most of Japan’s domestically made socks, at a family factory that has been making them since 1950. Mohair is shorn from Angora goats; it’s exceptionally warm for its weight, and it has a natural luster that wool lacks. Nylon runs through the blend to add strength and durability. Skilled technicians close and finish the toes, and every pair is inspected by hand before it leaves the factory.

Product Details
Katsuji Nishiguchi began knitting socks in 1950 on a single hand-operated machine in Katsuragi, in Nara Prefecture. The region has been knitting socks since the first circular knitting machine arrived in 1910. For decades, the family factory made socks under other companies’ names. The business became Knitwin Co. in 1999, and in 2017 Isato Nishiguchi, the founder’s grandson, launched a label under the family’s original name: Nishiguchi Kutsushita (kutsushita is Japanese for socks). The company now runs more than 130 custom-built knitting machines and handles every step in-house. That includes knitting, toe closing, and steaming and heat-setting each pair on a form.
33% wool, 30% nylon, 18% kid mohair, 18% acrylic, 1% elastane
Size Medium to Large, for US men’s 9–12, and US women’s 10–13
Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, or machine wash on a gentle cycle inside a laundry net. Hang to dry, and keep them out of the dryer. Heat and agitation will shrink and felt the wool and mohair. Alternate pairs between wears so the fibers can recover. Mohair and wool wear fastest where they rub, so keep the heel seated properly when you put them on, and wear slippers indoors rather than walking in socks on hard floors.
