Bearface Socks - French Blue


The design features a pattern depicting only the eyes, nose, and mouth of a bear, striking a balance between the surreal and the cute. Socks featuring the artwork of illustrator UMAO.

Knitted with a mid-gauge construction, the fabric has a soft, plush feel. These unisex socks are made using approximately 1.5 times the usual amount of yarn; they are knitted to a larger size and then fulled (felted) to achieve excellent elasticity. The toe and heel feature a terry-knit lining for enhanced durability in high-friction areas. 

Proudly made in Japan: carefully knitted at a sock factory in Nara Prefecture, a region with a long history as a major sock-producing hub.
