Red and Blue Pheasant Combed Cotton Socks

Cock pheasants in flight and on the ground, worked across a deep red ground in orange, blue and black. Navy takes the ribbed cuff, the heel and the toe, which keeps the pattern where it shows and steadies the whole sock.

The yarn is combed cotton, so the surface is smooth and the knit holds its shape through the day. One size covers most men, UK 7.5 to 11.5, or EUR 41 to 46. Red carries well against grey and navy trousers, and looks at home with country colours and brown shoes.
