Showing laid flat

The two views are the same pattern. Flat is the drawing; on the form is what the curve of a leg does to it.

Band Vertical

USD 14

Price in US Dollars (USD). This is a one-off purchase.

Bands running up the leg instead of around it. The only vertical drawing in this line.

Vertical bands of even width. Because they follow the leg rather than wrap it, the curve of the calf barely distorts them.

Your rights on this order

Your legal rights under Dutch law are not limited to a fixed number of years. How long a product must last depends on what you can reasonably expect from it. Any commercial guarantee we offer is in addition to those rights, never instead of them.

Gradual fading over many washes is wear. A pattern cracking or peeling within the first few wears is a fault.

Printed and dyed socks can transfer colour when new, especially dark patterns on light footwear. Wash separately the first time.
