From our Heritage collection, the 'Alfred' dress sock is a great all rounder that's comfortable; warm in winter, cool in summer and extremely hard wearing. The combination of yarns not only creates a tough hard wearing sock but still maintains great wicking capabilities to keep your feet dry.

 

Alfred socks are equally happy to be worn with dress shoes or for any casual wear from sneakers to riding boots or some work boots. They're great for summer because they offer excellent comfort in shoes, but without creating too much warmth as the ribbed style ventilates your feet.

 

These loose top socks have no elastic at all, with a well-shaped heel to keep them in place. They're perfect for people with blood circulation issues or diabetics.

 

Fiber Composition: Merino Wool: 60% Nylon: 40%

Here are the steps to follow, should you believe your Lindner Socks products have a manufacturing fault:

 

  1. Please email us at info@lindnersocks.com.au a photo clearly showing the fault, along with your name, contact details and order number. Please also advise whether you are seeking a refund or replacement pair.
  1. If the product is deemed to have a genuine manufacturing fault, we will arrange either a full refund, or a replacement pair to be shipped to you. In some circumstances where our production team may wish to investigate the fault further, we may also include a prepaid satchel with your replacement pair, and ask you to send the faulty pair back to us.

 

If the product is found to not have a genuine manufacturing fault, we will contact you to discuss the reasons why.

    Care Instructions

    Due to the natural crimp in wool fibers, our socks will shrink up to 10% when first washed. We have allowed for this shrinkage with our sizing, which is why your new socks may look a little bigger than expected when they arrive.

     

    Caring properly for your Lindner products will ensure they last for years to come. 

     

    We’ve created a handy how-to guide below, to help you care for our socks, accessories and apparel.

     

    For further tips and information about caring for wool products, please visit the Woolmark website

     

    In addition to properly caring for your socks, there are a few key reasons that socks wear out quickly. To learn more see Reasons Why Socks Wear Out.

     

     

    MERINO SOCKS

     

     

    WASHING

    To help care for your merino socks, they should be washed separately, or in a hosiery and lingerie wash bag so they do not catch on other garments.

     

    For all socks, excluding our 100% pure merino Stringybark* socks, we recommend a cold machine wash on a wool or woollens cycle setting, using a mild wool detergent. Faster cycles are better as some front loaders have long cycles and may even heat their own water, so beware it doesn’t get too hot.

     

    Alternatively, our merino socks can be hand washed using a gentle laundry soap.

     

    DRYING

    Tumble dryers and dry cleaning should be avoided, as they will cause your socks to shrink. Air drying in the shade is best, as direct, intense sunshine or drying close to heaters can also shrink the wool.

     

    If you have accidentally shrunk your socks, never fear, you can try to stretch them out whilst they are wet.

     

     

    MERINO APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES

     

     

    WASHING

    When washing merino beanies, scarves, and tees and rugby tops we recommend following the same instructions for washing merino socks, as listed above.

     

    DRYING

    As with our merino socks, tumble dryers and dry cleaning should be avoided as they will cause your merino beanies, scarves, tees and rugby tops to shrink.

     

    Air drying in the shade on a flat surface is best, as drying on a clothesline or hanger can cause wool products to stretch and become misshapen. For best results, we recommend laying them on a clean, light or white lint-free towel. 

     

     

    MERINO AND ALPACA BLEND SOCKS AND ALPACA SCARVES

     

     

    WASHING

    As alpaca fleece is a hair fiber, our alpaca farmers recommend the best way to care for our local merino and alpaca blend and local alpaca products is to hand wash them in shampoo (any hair shampoo will do, as long as it doesn’t have color pigments).

     

    DRYING

    Tumble dryers and dry cleaning should be avoided when drying our merino and alpaca blend products to avoid shrinkage. As with our merino products, air drying in the shade is best.

     

     

    STORAGE

     

    Storing wool products in dark cupboards over summer or if not used for an extended period of time makes them easy targets for wool moths or carpet beetles.
     
    As you reach for your favourite garment, it sometimes leads to finding a small hole or patch of holes. It looks like a manufacturing flaw initially but on closer inspection, pin sized holes reveal a slightly eaten patch of material that quickly falls apart when pressure is applied. To read more, please see Do Moths Really Eat Wool?
     
    To avoid pesky bugs, mold, and general wear and tear, it is recommended that wool socks and apparel are stored for extended periods in airtight vacuum sealed packs, 100% cotton or wool cloth bags (with moth balls or other pest deterrents) or sealed storage bins. Apparel should also be folded, not hung, to prevent it becoming misshapen.
     
    For further information about storing wool products, please visit the Woolmark website.
