THE BRAND

Bresciani is an Italian manufacturer of luxury hosiery, working with the finest natural fibres available: silk, vicuña, Himalayan cashmere, linen, Egyptian mercerised cotton, Australian merino wool and bamboo. Every sock is made in Italy with the same commitment to material quality and construction that defines the best of Italian textile manufacturing.

DETAILS

The Bresciani Purple Ribbed Ankle Length Wool Socks are for those who understand that the sock is the one place in a formal wardrobe where a strong colour is not only permissible but actively correct. The ribbed construction in a deep, saturated purple gives the sock both a clean visual character and a natural elasticity that keeps it in place through the day without a tighter band. The 90% wool composition gives genuine warmth and breathability, with 10% nylon added for durability and shape retention. A seamless toe eliminates the pressure point that a standard sewn toe creates, making these as comfortable to wear through a full day as they are considered in their appearance. Machine washable. Made in Italy.

WEAR IT WITH

A flash of purple at the ankle beneath a charcoal or navy suit is one of the quieter signals of a man who pays attention to the full length of his outfit. Pair with a Lund & Lund Black Line or Green Line suit, dark slim trousers and a leather loafer, and allow the sock to be the one deliberate note of colour in an otherwise restrained palette. Works particularly well alongside a Borrelli silk tie that carries a burgundy, purple or dark red tone.
