Mohair Sock Company Catalogue

The Mohair Sock Company Limited presented a catalogue dedicated to the natural luxury of mohair, the long, silky fibre produced by Angora goats. Renowned for its softness, warmth and rich lustre, mohair also offers great strength and durability, making it a true essential luxury when made into socks.

The Qualities of Mohair

The hollow structure of the mohair fibre allows feet to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Beyond its comfort, mohair brings several practical benefits when worn close to the skin.

• Seriously comfortable and luxuriously soft
• Naturally antibacterial
• Hard wearing and durable
• Machine washable at 40°C

Socks for Every Occasion

The range catered for ladies, gentlemen and children of around six years and upwards, offering something for everyone. Styles included walking, fishing, shooting and skiing socks, riding socks, fashion and bed socks, everyday and cushion soled socks, and business socks. Ladies socks and comfort top socks in particular were noted as beneficial for anyone suffering from diabetes, poor blood circulation, chilblains, varicose veins or eczema.

Beyond Socks

Complementing the socks, the Mohair Sock Company offered a small range of cashmere accessories, all made in Scotland from the highest quality fibre. These included hats, gloves, scarves and cashmere hot water bottle and sock sets.
