Charcoal Gray Silk Nylon Ribbed Dress Sock

1970s · 1960s · British

A mid-calf length sock in charcoal gray with vertical ribbing throughout the leg portion. The sock features a traditional construction with reinforced heel and toe areas in a slightly darker tone. The ribbed texture creates fine vertical channels that would provide stretch and shape retention. The silk and nylon blend represents the period's experimentation with synthetic fibers for hosiery, offering durability while maintaining a refined appearance. The proportions and ribbing style are characteristic of men's dress socks from the mid-1960s, when synthetic blends were becoming standard for everyday hosiery.
