Pennine

Pennine makes shooting socks, and the story goes back to the 1850s in England, when the label began by knitting socks for local workers. Over the years it narrowed its focus to outdoor and shooting socks, still using traditional knitting methods.

The socks are made from merino wool blended with nylon. The merino brings warmth and comfort, while the nylon reinforces the heels and toes so they last. Each pair is hand-finished in England.

The range runs through named styles and colours, such as the Lancaster in Maple, the Kendal in Sage, the Dover in Old Sage / Indigo and the Chelsea in Gold. A good pick if you spend long days in the field and want something warm that wears well.
