UK Royal Navy Sea Boot Socks

The socks are made from heavy white wool. They are described as luxurious thick wool, which feels warm even when wet. The quality of both the wool and the knit is excellent. Some socks may have a slightly darker spot or two, which is typical for this type of product.

The socks are listed as "One size only," and generally fit a wide range of foot sizes. They are described as really big and thick, and fit foot sizes from UK 10 to UK 15. The socks are knee-high and roll up all the way to the knees.

The socks can be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer. This method is commonly used with wool garments to tighten the knit, and it works well for these socks. Some socks may also need to be boiled and dried to tighten the knit.

These are new production socks, reproducing those worn by all services during a period when the Royal Navy wore them with sea boots. The RAF wore them with flight boots. They are also described as looking the part for the 8th army fighting with the Afrika Korps.

The socks are designed to be worn with sea boots and RAF flying boots. They also work well under motorcycle boots, gumboots, and Brit dispatch rider boots. The socks can be rolled down twice over the top of sea boots or RAF flying boots.

The socks are of outstanding manufacture and have a thick, traditional knit. They are described as being made just like winter mittens. The elastic around the calves might go first, and some suggest being prepared to sew on reinforcement.
