Mercerized cotton
Mercerization of cotton is a chemical process during which the internal parts of the cotton fiber are exposed. This is done by immersing the fibers in a sodium hydroxide solution. The purpose is to refine the fabric by dissolving the thin, matte layer that covers the yarn. Mercerized cotton becomes softer, shinier, and significantly more resistant to creasing.
Sock length
The length of the socks is designed to ensure that the calf is always covered. When sitting down, the trouser leg may end above the ankle or mid-calf (depending on the width and length of the trousers). With short socks, there is a risk that during a formal meeting, the bare calf may be exposed, which is unacceptable in the concept of classic men’s elegance.
How to choose the color of socks?
The color of the socks can be chosen in several ways: to match the color of the shoes, the color of the trousers or suit, or as an element that complements the tie, pocket square, or waistcoat.
