Simple and natural Kontex ribbed socks in beige, knitted from a two-ply blend of merino wool and organic cotton for ultimate comfort. The blend reduces pilling and improves moisture absorption, and a Y-shaped heel helps prevent slipping.

Merino wool keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, and has excellent antibacterial, odour-resistant and anti-static properties. Kontex have been making towels and knitted accessories using century-old techniques since their founding in 1934, in the famous Imabari towel region of Japan.

Also available in brown. Also see the merino Akinai Socks.

Meet the Maker: Kontex

Established in 1934 in the famous towel-making capital of Imabari, Japan, Kontex has spent nearly a century perfecting the art of the Japanese towel. While modern manufacturing prioritizes speed, Kontex remains dedicated to a slow-weaving process. By using traditional low-speed shuttle looms, they avoid the high-tension stress of modern machines, resulting in a fabric that is exceptionally soft, durable, and highly absorbent.

Kontex

Kontex Towels have been making towels using century old techniques since their founding in 1934. Their towels are crafted in the famous Imabari towel region of Japan. Each Japanese towel is respectively woven on traditional low-speed looms using high quality threads, and washed with fresh spring water that Mt. Ishizuchi provides from melted snow. As a result their range of towels are incredibly absorbent, fast drying, durable, and environmentally friendly – an ideal addition to your bathroom or kitchen.
