True Seamless for an Invisible Feel Darn Tough's high-density knitting techniques lead to a more comfortable, durable, and great-fitting sock with no added bulk. The undetectable seam fusion provides an ultra-smooth, invisible feel.

Sustainably Made in Vermont, USA Darn Tough aims to improve the well-being of our community by locally designing and manufacturing the most comfortable, durable, and best-fitting socks while continuously reducing our environmental impacts.

Responsible Materials for Responsible Socks Every material used in our socks has been carefully chosen and tested to meet our rigorous durability standards. We currently use a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, with a focus on Merino wool, recycled nylon, and Lycra spandex.

Merino Wool: The Foundation of Our Products Merino wool is the most important and relied-upon fiber in our products, accounting for 56% of our yarn consumption by weight last year. We've prioritized the use of Merino wool exclusively from sheep that have not been exposed to the practice of mulesing, and have committed to supporting the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) by shifting 100% of our wool supply to RWS-certified Merino wool.

Recycled Nylon: Conserving Resources We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber made from pre-consumer industrial waste that would otherwise be landfilled or downcycled. Using recycled nylon allows us to offset the use of crude oil, benzene, cyclohexane, and other harmful hydrocarbons involved in virgin fiber production, conserving energy, water, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Elastane: Providing Strength and Comfort We use Lycra to provide elasticity, strength, and form-fitting comfort. While spandex accounts for no more than 5% of the fiber used in our finished products, it represented 27% of the raw materials we procured last year. We're actively looking for functional, recycled spandex alternatives to further improve the sustainability of our socks.

Crafted in the Sock Capital of the World We live and work in Northfield, Vermont, where our backyard serves as the perfect testing ground to make the finest Premium All-Weather Performance Socks. It is under these unforgiving conditions that we design, test, and manufacture our socks, remaining committed to keeping every pair of Darn Tough socks knit right here in Vermont, USA.
