Cricket Bat Blue & Grey Combed Cotton Socks

A quiet bit of fun for the sock drawer. Cricket bats and balls are worked in grey across a deep blue ground, with the ribbed cuff, heel and toe picked out in the same grey. From a distance the pattern reads as a simple spot, so these sit comfortably under a suit trouser or a pair of cords.

Made in combed cotton, which gives the yarn a smooth, even surface. One size covers most men, UK 7.5 to 11.5, EUR 41 to 46. The mid-calf length stays put when you cross your legs.

Easy enough to give to a man who watches a Test match from the first ball to the last, and a sensible choice if you are buying without knowing his shoe size.
