A five-pair pack of men's ribbed crew socks in plain everyday shades: an easy stocking filler and a useful gift for him.
The fine vertical rib gives them a neat, tailored look under trousers, and the crew height sits comfortably above the ankle bone, so they work as well with brogues and a suit during the week as they do with trainers and jeans at the weekend.
They are knitted from 95% polyester and 5% elastane; the small amount of stretch helps the cuff hold its place and the foot keep its shape after wear. Sold as one size. The supplier's care instruction is hand wash only, which will also keep the rib looking crisp for longer. The pack contains a mix of colours, and the photographs show sets drawn from black, grey, navy, white, brown and similar neutrals, so the exact combination may vary.
Plain ribbed socks are one of those things a man goes through quietly and rarely replaces in time, which makes a five-pair pack a practical addition to any drawer and an easy extra for a larger gift. Wear the darker pairs with a navy or charcoal suit, and keep the lighter ones for chinos, knitwear and a flat cap on casual weekends. Five pairs at once also means fewer odd socks left over after the wash.
One size. Check the shoe size range under Technical details; if you are at either end of it, write to us and we will tell you honestly how they come up.
Wash inside out with similar colours and dry away from direct heat, so the rib keeps its shape. Where Technical details gives a care line, follow that first.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
Pairs with touchscreen fingertips say so in the product name and under Technical details. If it is not mentioned, assume they do not.
Yes. Pair any scarf with gloves or a cap and save 10% when you buy two or more pieces. If you would rather not choose, our winter sets match a hat, scarf and gloves in one colour.
Scarves and the pieces in our winter sets are one size, and knitted pieces stretch to fit most adults. For gloves, measure around the widest part of your palm and compare it with the measurements in Technical details. If you are unsure, write to us before ordering.
Hand wash knitted and wool pieces cool and dry them flat; never wring or tumble dry. Leather gloves are dry clean only and should always dry naturally, away from heat. Where Technical details gives a care line, follow that first.
