Product Overview
The Kariban Cotton City Socks are a fundamental accessory for any professional wardrobe, designed to bridge the gap between comfort and a polished corporate appearance. These calf-height socks are engineered specifically for the demands of the working day, ensuring that every detail of a staff uniform is accounted for, right down to the footwear.
Constructed with a technical blend of natural and synthetic fibres, these socks offer a consistent fit that remains comfortable from the first meeting to the final commute. Their height and construction make them an essential choice for those wearing formal trousers or suits, providing a seamless look that maintains its integrity throughout the day.
Key Features
- The calf-height cut ensures full coverage of the lower leg, preventing any unsightly gaps between trousers and footwear when seated.
- A deep ribbed top has been integrated to provide optimal comfort and a secure fit, ensuring the socks stay in place without restricting circulation.
- The fabric is certified by Oeko-Tex, WRAP, and BSCI, confirming that the garment meets high ethical and environmental standards during production.
- A wide range of colour options allows for easy coordination with specific corporate branding or uniform requirements.
Design & Performance
The performance of these socks lies in the careful balance of its fabric composition. By combining 52% cotton with 48% polyamide, Kariban has created a garment that leverages the best properties of both materials. The cotton provides essential breathability and a soft touch against the skin, which is vital for preventing moisture build-up during long shifts.
The addition of polyamide is a deliberate choice for durability. This lightweight but strong synthetic fibre ensures the socks retain their shape after repeated wears and washes, while also providing the necessary elasticity to contour to the foot and ankle. This blend results in a medium-weight fabric that is robust enough for daily use without being overly bulky inside a formal shoe.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Even an item as specific as a city sock can play a role in your brand identity. These socks are suitable for both print and embroidery, allowing for various levels of branding. Embroidery is particularly effective for adding a subtle, professional logo or initials near the ankle, providing a premium feel that aligns with high-end corporate wear.
For more vibrant or larger-scale promotional designs, print is an excellent alternative. Our expert team at MyWorkwear, based in Telford and operating since 1976, manages the entire customisation process in-house. We ensure that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the elasticity of the sock while ensuring the design remains clear and durable.
Use Cases
These socks are perfectly suited for corporate office environments, hospitality management, and front-of-house staff. They are also an excellent addition to gifting packs for employees or as part of a complete uniform set for security personnel and transport workers who require a formal appearance.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note the range covers 7/9 to 10/12. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to ensure the heel sits correctly and to prevent over-stretching the fabric, which can lead to premature wear. For a complete uniform look, pair these with our range of formal trousers and polished safety shoes.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and comfort of your socks, it is important to follow the specified care guidelines. A domestic wash at 40°C is recommended to effectively clean the cotton fibres while preserving the elasticity of the polyamide. Higher temperatures may cause the synthetic fibres to degrade over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the natural fibres and cause significant discolouration to the fabric and any custom branding. Furthermore, these socks should not be ironed; the heat from an iron can melt the polyamide components, leading to permanent damage.
We advise against tumble drying. Allowing the socks to air dry naturally will prevent shrinkage and ensure that the deep ribbing remains effective at holding the sock in place during wear.
