Rototo - Coarse Ribbed Old School Crew Socks - Black. While we love our crazy, nordic pattern socks...we thought it might be time for something a little more simple. We of course had to continue our wonderful relationship with Japan, but this time you can wear these with anything. This sock has just a hint of flare in the 3 stripe design, and it's nice and low so you can see the details when your pants raise as you sit down. Usually, the stripes are at the top so you never see them! Not these. That attention to detail was enough to make us love them. Designed based on tube socks made in the U.S. in the late 1970s, these ribbed socks are knitted with a special knitting machine that is hard to find today, using low-count supple cotton yarn. The liner of the sole is brushed for a unique bouncy feel that only Rototo can create. Made in Japan.
