A level of perfection that can only be described as "for Alden exclusively"
When the idea of creating socks with Alden in mind came up, Glen Clyde, a brand with numerous sock labels in Japan, was the first name that came to mind.
The first release, "Cotton Casual Rib Socks (LHK-003)," uses high-quality combed yarn. Thanks to Glen Clyde's unique, proprietary knitting method, the fabric is thick and elastic, offering exceptional cushioning. The toe is finished with hand-linking, a technique Glen Clyde excels at, eliminating excess fabric bunching and discomfort. This is a masterpiece of meticulous craftsmanship, a testament to Japanese production.
Transform your business footwear
The second release is the "Cotton Dress Rib Socks (LHK-004)," made from Supima cotton, renowned for its extra-long staple fibers. Unlike typical dress socks, these are designed with a slightly thicker fabric, striking a balance that enhances both durability and comfort. While featuring the same hand-linked toes as the casual version, these are versatile enough for any occasion, including formal settings in black.
Premium merino wool that softens with each wash
The third release, "Wool Casual Rib Socks (LHK-005)," uses yarn made from high-quality New Zealand merino wool that has undergone washable processing. This yarn, highly trusted by Glen Clyde, is crafted using their unique recipe to maximize its natural properties. You'll notice an increased softness and comfort after just a few washes.
While perfect with Alden shoes, these socks also pair well with other footwear. When deciding on your shoes for the day, consider coordinating your socks as well. A sharp look from the feet up can truly elevate the start of your day.
