Scottish Thread cotton, a timeless icon of style
Scottish Thread cotton is one of the finest yarns in the world: it comes from Egyptian Makò cotton, grown along the fertile banks of the Nile, then mercerized to achieve the typical shine, softness and strength that have made this fiber a true icon of luxury hosiery. The Ciocca 753 socks are born from this tradition: long-staple, twisted, lustrous yarn that supports the Italian businessman from the morning in the office to evening events.
A choice that combines textile tradition, elegance and function: cool and breathable in summer, feather-light, lasting over time.
