Men's William Morris Compton Cotton Socks

In a collaboration with the William Morris Gallery, we have created a collection of socks inspired by the Victorian artist's design and ethos - the perfect modern-day fusion of beautiful designs and the finest traditions of British manufacturing.

'Compton' was produced in 1896 for the house of Laurence Hodson, near Wolverhampton. Once believed to be Morris's last design, it is now recognized as the work of John Dearle, who managed Morris & Company's block-printing operations at Merton Abbey and succeeded Morris as director. The pattern is, nevertheless, a definitive example of the company style. Tulips and poppies are woven into a rich, flowing pattern inspired by natural models.

Fit & Specification                              

Our mid-calf/crew socks offer a snug and supportive fit that offers breathable comfort and stretch without losing shape. The men's crew length is 11.5" and finishes at the mid-calf, with a small ribbed cuff which stays in place without slipping or feeling too tight around the leg. The fabric is a lightweight flat knit cotton and our expertly finished toe seams are smooth and comfortable during wear and have a reinforced heel for durability. Available in S/M and L/XL. Refer to our Sock Size Guide for the perfect fit.
