One of the great things about fashion is that you can take an incredibly deep dive into even the most mundane subjects. You may not pay much heed to your socks, except for ensuring they’re suitably cheap and comfortable, but there is, of course, more to the story.

RoToTo is a brand that’s willing to take a deep dive into how socks can and should be made. In their Japanese factory in Korea Town, the brand has access to many kinds of archaic sock-knitting equipment. By using high-quality cotton thread and special, old-school knitting machines, the brand is able to yield extra-durable, comfortable socks that will blow the others right out of your wardrobe – just like these Low Raw socks that flaunt classic athletic style through an ecru colorway with contrasting navy stripes.
