If you like cotton socks, you'll love our organic Supima® cotton fibers...

Organic Supima® cotton is generally used in the finest dress shirts, hosiery and intimate apparel. So why are we using it for socks?

Because it performs and feels great! Our addition of Ecopet and Lycra fibers in just the right places means you don't have to sacrifice performance to enjoy all of the things you love about your good ol' cotton socks...

In fact, these socks feel so silky and smooth, your feet might actually blush.

Buhler Swiss Cotton®
Teko cotton is 100% organically grown in Switzerland, using methods and materials that have a low impact on our environment.

From the cotton field to the spinning mill, the production process is carefully inspected and certified, meeting strict European Commission rules for organic agriculture, EKO-Label Skal 5014 requirements, Oeko-Tex Standard 1000 and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 plus. The organic Supima® cotton provides a silky appearance, a soft hand, and meets the highest European quality requirements.
