At Oswin Hyde, we believe in the importance of investing in high-quality, luxury socks that not only look great but last for years. With proper care, your favourite pairs can stand the test of time. Here's a guide to keeping your socks in peak condition:

Washing Your Socks

Socks endure frequent washing, which can impact their longevity. Follow these tips to clean them without compromising their quality:

1. Use a Laundry Net
A laundry net keeps socks safe during washes, reducing the chances of them slipping into the machine’s drum or seal.

2. Wash Similar Colours Together
Avoid dulling bright socks by keeping light and dark colors separate.

3. Skip Fabric Softeners
Fabric softeners can harm the wicking properties of socks made from natural or synthetic fibres, reducing their ability to keep your feet dry.

4. Special Care for Wool Socks
Merino, cashmere, or wool socks require gentle care. Hand-wash with wool-friendly detergent or use a machine’s wool cycle on low heat.

5. Air-Dry Only
Tumble dryers weaken elastic fibres, causing socks to lose their shape. Instead, lay them flat to dry naturally.

6. No Ironing or Dry Cleaning
Excessive heat damages the fibres and elasticity of your socks, so avoid these methods altogether.

Storing Your Socks

Proper storage prevents unnecessary wear.

• Flat Storage: Avoid bunching socks as it stretches the fabric and elastic. Lay them flat to maintain their shape.
• Moth Protection for Wool Socks: If storing wool socks for the season, ensure they’re aired out monthly. Vacuum storage areas and use lavender or cedar balls to repel moths.

Preventing Wear and Tear

Start with proper fit and foot care to minimise damage:

• The Right Size: Ensure socks fit snugly. Too small, and they’ll stretch and rub; too large, and they’ll bunch and wear faster.
• Trim Your Toenails: Sharp nails can snag and tear fabric, so keep them neatly trimmed.
• Avoid Rough Surfaces: Socks aren’t meant for pavement or abrasive surfaces. For quick trips outside, slip on a pair of slippers.

With these simple care tips, your Oswin Hyde socks will stay as luxurious and functional as the day you bought them. A little care goes a long way in keeping your wardrobe essentials timeless.
