Olde Homesteader Heavy Weight Plain Rib Wool Socks Mahogany

Order via Japan Rabbit

Olde Homesteader studies vintage textiles to craft modern wardrobe essentials, and their Heavy Weight Plain Rib socks now arrive in a new colorway: Mahogany, a deep, reddish-brown tone with a distinctly grown-up feel. Made from 100 percent wool, this pair brings serious substance and warmth to your daily rotation.

Compared to the brand's standard Plain Jersey socks, this rib-knit design is noticeably thicker, and the shaft runs about one inch longer, an easy match for boots and sneakers alike. That ribbed shaft brings good stretch along with a casual look, giving an otherwise solid-color sock some real texture and character. The opening sits softly against the leg without squeezing, and the shaped heel keeps everything in place with no slipping or bunching.

At the toe, Olde Homesteader skips traditional linking in favor of ultra-fine stitching. Wear and wash the socks enough, and that seam gradually settles into the knit itself, so the fit only gets better with time. The body of the sock is knit firm and full, breaking in nicely the more you wear it, and the curve toward the toe is shaped so your toes sit naturally, with zero pinching or stress.

Sizing follows old-fashioned notation: size 9 1/2 covers Japanese shoe sizes 23.5cm to 25.5cm, and size 11 covers 26cm to 28cm. Each brand-new pair ships in its own dedicated package, ready to upgrade whatever's on your feet, especially work boots and engineer boots, where this heavier weight really shines.

Details

OLDE HOMESTEADER Heavy Weight Socks “Plain Rib” in Mahogany, a rich reddish brown. These rib-knit socks are thicker than the brand’s standard Plain Jersey style and have a shaft approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) longer, making them well suited to boots, sneakers, and other casual footwear.

The ribbed shaft provides stretch and texture, while the soft cuff is designed for a non-restrictive fit. The heel holds securely in place, and the firmly knitted body softens and conforms with continued wear. The toe uses ultra-fine stitching rather than linking; the seam allowance is designed to settle into the knit through wear and washing. Each pair comes in dedicated packaging.

Available sizes: 9 1/2: fits shoe sizes approximately 23.5 to 25.5 cm 11: fits shoe sizes approximately 26 to 28 cm
