Includes VAT. Shipping calculated at checkout.
A long, loose-ribbed sock meant to be pushed down and worn slouched.
Pick a size before adding it.
Longer than a crew sock and knitted with a soft rib that does not grip, so it sits in folds around the ankle instead of standing up straight. Wear them with the pyjama trousers or on their own in bed.
The white goes grey if it is washed with darks. Wash with whites.

Tested. Three of these went through 200 washes at 40 °C before it was listed. The shrinkage figure above is what we measured after five.

From 164 people who bought the Slouch Cotton Socks and were asked six weeks later.
The shrinkage number was right. I measured before and after five washes out of stubbornness and got 2%, same as the page.
Third order. Sizes are consistent between garments, which is the thing most shops get wrong.
Pilled a bit at first as warned, then stopped. Wish the description had been wrong about the tumble dryer twisting the seams - it was not.
Every garment is cut on one unisex block and runs relaxed. Measure a top you like flat across the chest and compare.
