Good to know about Darn Tough UK

Darn Tough UK knits, finishes and packages all of its socks in Vermont, USA, and describes its socks as Guaranteed for Life: if they are not comfortable, durable and well fitting, the brand will replace them. The brand states that its socks are knitted only from Merino Wool, Nylon and Elastane, with Merino Wool sourced primarily from Australia, South Africa and Patagonia, and that it committed in 2019 to shifting 100% of its wool supply to Responsible Wool Standard certified Merino Wool from sheep not exposed to mulesing. Merino Wool is presented as moisture wicking, thermoregulating and naturally odour resistant, with fibres described as half as thick as human hairs yet able to be twisted up to 20,000 times without breaking. The site also offers a size chart, a help centre and a store locator, and a letter inside the cuff of each sock indicates its size rather than left or right.
