Alpaca Crew Socks
Our premium mid-calf alpaca crew sock, engineered for all-day comfort on the trail, in work boots, or around town. With a market-leading alpaca fibre content, it delivers the natural performance of alpaca in a durable, shape-holding knit that outperforms ordinary wool socks.
Why alpaca?
- Naturally temperature-regulating — hollow-core fibres trap warmth in the cold and release heat when it's warm, so feet never overheat.
- Moisture-wicking — pulls sweat away from the skin to keep feet dry and help prevent blisters on long days.
- Odour-resistant — naturally antimicrobial, so socks stay fresh even after hours of wear.
- Hypoallergenic & itch-free — lanolin-free alpaca is kind to sensitive skin, with none of the itch of sheep's wool.
- Lightweight warmth — serious insulation without the bulk, fitting comfortably in boots, trainers, and everyday shoes.

Made in Portugal — England's oldest ally
The alpaca crew sock is crafted in Portugal, the United Kingdom's longest-serving military ally. The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, sealed by the Treaty of Windsor in 1386, is the oldest active alliance in the world — over six centuries of friendship between two seafaring nations. A bond that old is worth weaving into every pair.
