Officially Licensed Royal Navy Socks!
Well hello sailor! Founded in 1546, The Royal Navy was formally established by Henry VIII, although naval forces existed in England and Scotland long before this date. It is known as the Senior Service, being the oldest of the UK’s armed services. But did you also know, clean water was hard to get out in the middle of the ocean, so sailors’ supply of rum wasn’t a luxury, it was a necessity. Sailors received a daily ration of rum, known as “grog”, that was pretty high in alcohol content at 70-80%. Eventually, the Navy started to dilute it with water and citrus, the latter helping to combat scurvy. There was legend that when Nelson was mortally wounded in battle, he asked for his body to be brought back to England in a rum cask. Occasionally, the sailors would partake of rum from the cask, leading Royal Navy rum to have the nickname “Nelson’s Blood”. We of course will leave it to you whether you will have some grog whilst wearing these Officially Licensed Socks!

Washing & Care
We produce the highest quality of socks at cracking value. To take extra care of your socks, you can keep these few things in mind:
– All packaging includes specific instructions to your product. In general, 40 degrees is the standard temperature to wash.
– Wash the socks turned inside out
– We recommend air-drying to extend the life of the sock, but you can tumble dry on low. Do not over dry (this is what leads to holes)
– Do not bleach
– Fold. don’t roll (rolling them into balls can distort their shape)
– Sock gnomes take great delight in stealing just one sock. Keep them safe as we do not put trackers in them if they get lost.
