These no-show socks are crafted from dry, comfortable cotton yarn. The functional design is carefully crafted by artisans and features various stay-put details, such as inside heel grips. Due to the necessity of knitting each sock at low speed, only 4-5 pairs can be manufactured in an hour. Additionally, this item is finished with linking, a method of seamlessly seaming garment pieces together, to ensure a smooth feel.
The sock production in the northwestern part of Nara Prefecture is thus originated from the area’s centuries-long tradition of the weaving industry. And that is why Rototo places more value on manufacturing that requires a lot of discussion with factory craftsmen who preserve the tradition and history. Rototo’s socks can be made only with a combination of the right material, the right machine and craftsmanship. They aim to preserve the tradition inherited from their ancestors.
