Lisle socks

Lisle socks: both comfortable and durable

Lisle thread is one of the materials preferred by sock manufacturers. Because: It is a material that is simultaneously fine, soft and elegant. So what are you waiting for? Check out our collection of lisle socks, offering a combination of style and durability, at Achile's on-line store.

Lisle thread: you're guarantee of getting quality socks

Lisle thread is a cotton thread processed using a technique called mercerisation. This stage in the manufacturing process produces a finer, more even thread that is soft, silky and shiny. The result are socks that look prettier and are more comfortable on the feet. Lisle socks are also durable socks and are resistent to frequent machine washing without losing their shape or colour. These high-quality socks will be with you for plenty of years to come! Please note that lisle thread is often combined with other natural or synthetic fibres such as polyamide or elastane to provide even greater flexibility.
