A gentleman pays as much attention to choosing his socks as he does his bespoke suits and bench made shoes. And the company he turns to when looking for the finest men’s hosiery is Pantherella. The company is known for its ‘Hand Linked Toe Seam’ an exceptionally smooth join, which provides gentleman with the ultimate in comfort and luxury. Pantherella was founded in 1937 by Mr Louis Goldschmidt, in Staffordshire in the heart of England. Originally named Midland Hosiery Mills, Louis soon re-located to Hallaton Street in Leicester, the undisputed centre of hosiery at that time, where the factory manufactured ladies’ stockings. While his competitors churned out bulky, bland men’s socks, the maverick Mr Goldschmidt believed that there might be a market for a lightweight men’s sock. He persuaded local engineers P.A Bentley to create a prototype machine, which could produce just such a sock. And so, the Pantherella legend was born. Today, the company produces lightweight socks in a kaleidoscopic range of colour combinations and luxury fabrics such as cashmere, Sea Island cotton and merino wool. All of its products are 100% made in England. A perfect Gift!
