KINGLY LTD

Kingly's 3 Best-Selling Crew Socks rated by BCome's Sustainability Platform

03-07-2023

Crew Socks are the most popular socks on the planet. These promotional products account for 65% of all Kingly’s sales and are a perfect giveaway gift for promotional campaigns, business and art conventions, and music and dance festivals.

Crew socks’ height can vary, though most are about 6 to 8 inches from the heel to the top of the cuff – as all socks are full custom knitted you can request that the height be modified. Perhaps you would like the cuff to be higher for example? We can do it without any additional charge. This is a full custom sock knitted in up to 6 colours. The knit design is more complex, with an all-over knitted design. These socks can be created with 3 types of yarn:

GOTS Organic Cotton – Chemical-free, sustainably produced and processed;
Upcycled Cotton – High-quality reprocessed cotton. Provides significant savings in water, resources and pollutants;
Euro Cotton – Conventional cotton from ethical producers within the European Union.
