Crafted from extra-fine, mercerised Egyptian cotton, our black long socks offer exceptional softness and durability. Designed to sit comfortably over the calf, they stay securely in place, preventing any unwanted slipping. Finished with a hand-linked toe, flat knit design, and an elegant ribbon detail, they exude refined craftsmanship.

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.
Registered at Companies House as TURNBULL & ASSER LIMITED, number 01066321. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
Stated by the company: "our skilled sewers in our Gloucester workrooms" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Majority ownership sits in split holding. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
