BOYS SCHOOL SOCKS
Recently we have created a sock that will forever change the face of boys school wear by applying the stay up technology design from our team wear into our boy's school sock. It does not change the overall look of the sock but it does give you a built in gaiter that is different to a traditional garter. A graduated elastic band of around 3 inches in length is placed just above the turnover to give you a comfortable hold far less restrictive than a garter. This will mean that a student can never lose a garter or pay for one for that matter as it is built into the product.
Along with our commitment to making boys school socks better, we use 21.4 - 24-micron merino wool in all our wool based products has all these properties.
- Good for winter or summer
- Odour free (your teachers will thank you)
- Renewable
- Biodegradable
We are a trusted supplier for New Zealand Schools and pride ourselves on service and product quality.
​
12 Shades of grey from light to dark, 12 shades of Navy from light to dark and all the other colours you can imagine are stocked by Sock Makers Ltd for the specific supply of school socks.
Along with our wool option, we have over 29 striping colours in stock to create the sock that you need in the traditional colours of the school. If we don't have your stripe we have access to over 100 colours through our knitting network within New Zealand.

SOCK MAKERS MERINO
The secret to Sock Makers Ltd Merino wool's softness is it is fine but not too fine so it lasts longer but still feels soft. The Merino fibres are extremely fine, enabling them to bend far more than traditional, coarser wool fibres. This makes Merino wool feel soft and luxuriously gentle next to your skin.
​
In contrast to synthetics, Merino is an active fibre that reacts to changes in body temperature. So it helps you stay warm when the weather is cold, and cool when the weather is hot. Making our socks climate reactive.
Its Natural elasticity helps Merino wool socks stretch with you, yet return to their original shape. So Merino wool socks are ideal to wear when schoolwear.
​
​
Sock Makers Pre Washes and Drys the school socks, so there is no first wash shrinkage. It also makes the sock machine washable and dryable.
Because Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics.
Smells are a thing of the past with Sock Makers Merino Wool. In contrast to synthetics, Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour which means less sweat on your body. Merino wool even absorbs the odours from sweat, which are then released during washing.
​
Our Merino wool garments can now be machine-washed and tumble dried.
Our Merino wool is flame retardant and doesn't melt or stick to the skin.
Merino wool is much better at protecting you from UV radiation than most synthetics and cotton.
Merino wool regulates body temperature and heart rate too
Merino wool is an entirely natural and renewable fibre.
When the sock is full of holes and thrown away, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of years, slowly releasing nutrients back into the earth.

GIRLS SOCKS
When it comes to creating a fashionable yet functional sock for the school student we have learnt to take the considerations of students and how the choose to wear the socks can be as varied from school to school as the uniform is. Thats why our socks are designed to fit the parameters of what the school/student requires based around some simple platform styles so you can get a truly unique design.
