All Socks & Tights

You may have bought 'seamless' products before, which turned out to have seams after all - the terminology manufacturers use can be confusing. So to make things much easier, this is how we describe the seaming (or lack of) in all our ranges:

• Seamless are woven in one piece to have no joins at all, this can sometimes make them a bit thicker. They are very stretchy and fit the contours. As they stretch the fabric gets thinner so they aren't actually as thick as they may first feel out of the packet. If you are on the cusp of a size, with seamless we always recommend buying down a size as you want the garment to be fully stretched. Examples of these are Smartknit and Skinnies.
• Seamfree are made with thinner material and are not woven. If they are not woven they must have joins but in the brands we stock the seams have been adapted - oversewn, hand linked, sewn flat, or other means of comfort to make sure the seams lie flat. The join will show as a line. Examples of these are City of Clouds and Pex

Please check our size chart before placing an order to avoid unnecessary returns.
