We've reproduced the irregular argyle socks that were popular in the 1950s.

Irregular argyle can be translated as "incorrect argyle."

In other words, it refers to argyle that is not arranged in the correct order.

It refers to socks that are strangely long or long vertically or horizontally, and have an irregular arrangement and color scheme.

This type of irregular argyle was all the rage in the 1950s.

This was a time when diamond patterns, including argyle, were all the rage, and the more irregular the diamond pattern, the more highly valued it was.

A diamond pattern like this, with a large V at the center when viewed from the side, is a design unique to this era.

When worn, a thick zigzag line runs around the ankle, with the diamond pattern positioned underneath.

This type of irregular diamond arrangement was popular back then.

The pattern itself was borrowed from a 1950s catalogue by an American mail-order manufacturer.

All of Dry Bones' sock series are knitted using a machine called an intarsia knitting machine.

Jacquard can be knitted at a lower cost, but the colour of the bobbin thread shows through to the front, so if you want to bring out the colour beautifully, intarsia will knit more beautifully.

This is a hidden classic item from Dry Bones that has a reputation for being long-lasting.
