Olive Drab Military Style Tube Socks

G.I. Style Tube Socks

These Rothco tube socks follow the plain olive drab pattern long worn under US Army combat boots. They run 18.5 inches and come up over the calf, so the top sits well above a tall boot collar and the leather never rubs bare skin. Wear them for field days, range sessions, and work in cold weather, or anywhere a boot needs a sock that covers the leg.

Features

• 85% Cotton, 15% Nylon — Cotton makes up most of the knit for softness and breathability, and the nylon adds stretch and resistance to wear.
• Over-The-Calf Length — At 18.5 inches the sock reaches past the calf, so it stays above the top of a combat or work boot.
• Tube Construction — A tube sock has no knitted heel pocket, so it can't sit twisted on the foot and wear spreads more evenly.
• Ribbed Upper — The deep vertical ribbing around the top grips the leg and helps keep the sock from sliding down into the boot.
• Cushion Terry Lining — Terry, a looped knit on the inside, gives the foot a softer layer between skin and boot.
• Olive Drab Color — The traditional US military green blends with surplus fatigues and field gear.
• US Army Type Stencil — White lettering near the toe reads US ARMY TYPE, gives the fiber content, and is marked FITS 10-14 and WPL 11953.
• Made In USA — Rothco produces these socks in the United States.

Fit And Construction

Rothco is a commercial maker, and these socks are new production in the G.I. style, not issued surplus. The stencil on the foot marks them as fitting sock sizes 10 to 14 in adult unisex sizing. The cotton-nylon knit is rated for cold weather wear and is meant to pair with tactical boots, combat boots, or ordinary shoes.
