Product Insights

Simons' 1840 Wool Socks deliver a heritage story rooted in the founder's Scottish knitwear imports and 185-year family history, priced at 19 CAD without typical anniversary markup, offering lambswool's insulation and moisture absorption for odor-resistant warmth without sweat, though buyers must accept a tighter fit than typical elasticated socks and hand-wash care to avoid shrinkage, with potential shifting inside boots during active wear.

Thick sock. Warm and cozy for Fall/Winter wear.

Nice woolies

PAAL H.

Very comfortable, soft and warm. Good wool socks.

PERFECT WEIGHT

Renate S.

comfortable socks

Nearly 5 stars

Devon S.

I would give the gray socks 5 stars and will continue to buy them because they are the toastiest socks that do not make my feet sweat. However the green patterned socks fit differently from the green socks. The green socks are tight enough in the area between the heel and the top of the foot, that I struggle to get them on.

Very tight

James B.

I have pretty typical size 10. 5 feet (m) and these were almost impossible to pull on, feeling like they were going to tear over my heels.

They love their wool socks,

Mary M.

They love their wool socks, these are an easier gift than me knitting them.

Great quality and design

Zachari W.

A nice addition to a Christmas gift. I love the sentiment of the product and Simons’ history. Well done!

Great wool socks!

Audra B.

Warm but not hot. Love the colours and pattern. Please offer more colours! I would definitely buy more.
