Tabio

Tabio is a Japanese sock specialist and the most popular sock brand in Japan. It makes around 30 million pairs a year. The story starts with founder Naomasa Ochi, who began making socks at 15. His son, Katsuhiro Ochi, now leads the company.

Production centres on Nara, the home of Japanese sock making. Tabio is one of the largest sock manufacturers in the country and works with several factories across the region.

The range includes merino wool socks, which are soft, breathable and help regulate temperature, plus ribbed styles and a sustainable collection made from responsibly sourced materials. Power Fit socks are designed for all-day comfort. If you want a proper pair of socks with real makers behind them, start here.
