My name's Justin Hall. I'm a 5th generation sock maker and my family started making socks in 1882. Pantherella was started in 1937 by Louis Goldschmidt. He started his factory on Hallaton Street here in Leicester, England and we're still based on the same street to this day.
Right from the very beginning, Pantherella established itself as a maker of fine English socks. We use a lot of modern machinery in making our socks, but it does mean we still use a lot of traditional techniques and processes. Every Pantherella sock is crafted by of our skilled team of sock makers. We've been making socks for generations. There's a real dedication to delivering quality and within the business there's generations of families who've worked here as well.
Each pair of our socks is hand-finished to ensure they meet our highest quality standards. Things such as the smooth fine-linked toe seams that add extra comfort. We do reinforce heels and toes for added durability. These are skills that can take years to acquire. There's a lot of know-how with regards to using natural materials and natural fibres. We do use the best quality materials in the world. We have done for generations and we're continuing to do so.
From the Cashmere to the Chinese Silk, provenance is important in everything that we do. And it takes many years to build up the experience to be able to work well with them and to know how to get the best out of them..
Each pair of socks has been passed through dozens of pairs of hands to ensure that every pair of Pantherella socks leaves with the Pantherella stamp of approval. This has been essential in growing the Pantherella name as the number one sock maker. We pay particular attention to international fashion trends and seasonal colours and we're producing new collections every season.
Pantherella's reputation is acknowledged both here in England and abroad by many of the world's premium department stores and we've been stocked by Harrods since the 1940's and we've gained followers from style icons and aristocrats to Royals and some dapper dressers along the way.
We make all the socks here, in our own factory in Leicester. We have control from the start to the finish to ensure that Pantherella socks remain the World's Finest.
Watching this while wearing their plain super fine merino socks. Have 16 pairs and wear them everyday, even now living in a subtropical climate.
Best socks you can buy, not worn a pair out yet ..... I live in Leicester and my wife used to work in the industry, I just wish there was a factory shop :-)
Beautiful video and product
Okay. I must have these. Looks like a great place to work. I will report back in a few weeks after trying these socks.
Thank you for watching - we really hope you like our socks!
How are they
@@Faizwellcomesyou Amazing. Picked up a pair from the full-service Habadashery called Homer Reed Ltd in downtown Denver's financial district. Also got a pair of Dion and Homer Reed Ltd (made in Italy). The Pantherella's are my favorite without argue, material and feel.
I like the silk socks that I have, however very expensive but worth it and highly recommended. Shipping to us in Canada is also quite costly. I wish they had silk no show socks for men. I also wish silk leggings for men with a spandex blend would be available. Natural fibers would be better for working out or sleeping in as opposed to synthetics which breakdown easier.
Looks very nice. Have bought a pair.
Can I know where it is?
Are the wool socks supposed to be see-through?!!!
Yes, but despite their fine appearance, our Merino Wool socks keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer, due to the unique body temperature regulating properties of the Merino sheep’s fleece. You can read more about what makes our 'see through' fine gauge socks so special, here: www.pantherella.com/discover-pantherella/fine-gauge-socks
Sophie Holt How long will it last if you wear it daily? Still wearing a thin pair of CK socks for 4 years later. Read lots of reviews that say Pantherella last only few wears.
@@verveblack If washed and worn properly then Pantherella socks should last you years. The yarns we use are the best in the world, with extra long fibres which knit together with fewer stray ends. These stray ends are what often results in 'pilling' which in turn can lead to holes. We use a lot less synthetic fibres than cheaper competitors but we do reinforce our heels and toes with nylon, to add durability.
