Red and Blue Tractor Combed Cotton Socks

Red tractors run across a blue ground, with a red ribbed cuff, heel and toe to finish. The pattern is knitted in rather than printed, so it holds its shape and colour through the wash. Worn under a trouser leg, only a glimpse shows when you sit down, which is usually the point.

Made from combed cotton with nylon and elastane for stretch, so they keep their hold around the calf through the day. One size fits most men, UK 7.5-11.5 or European 41-46.
