Falke »Tiago« knee socks create an elegant appearance

»Tiago« knee socks from Falke are an excellent choice for officewear. While the inside of the sock is made of combed cotton, fine and satiny fil d’Ecosse adorns the outside. Hand-linked toes and reinforced stress-bearing zones round out the premium »Tiago« sock.

Fil d’Ecosse guarantees a smooth surface and satiny shine

Falke »Tiago« knee socks are made of 98% fil d’Ecosse—a meticulously crimped and refined cotton fibre. Natural wool fibres are gathered from the seeds of the cotton plant, and encourage moisture absorption inside the sock. Cotton absorbs 7 to 11% of its own weight in moisture. Cotton fibre quality is easy to test: the longer the individual fibres, the firmer and higher quality the thread e.g., Egyptian cotton. In order to enhance the quality of the cotton fibres, impurities, short fibres, and nodules are combed out before the fibres are processed. The combed cotton »Tiago« knee socks ensures ideal grip—especially in the soles—and encourages moisture absorption.

In turn, on the outside of the socks mercerised cotton guarantees lasting shine, a satiny look, and a smooth structure. During mercerisation cotton fibres are crimped a number of times, stretched, and treated with caustic soda. A delicate, skin-friendly elastic band further enhances the fit of Falke »Tiago« knee socks, in addition to creating ideal grip. »Tiago« knee socks are further distinguished by reinforced stress-bearing zones, as well as hand-linked toes, making the painful pressure points that result from protruding seams a thing of the past.
