Oversized wool boot socks, for those blustery and wet winter days. Slip them on over another pair of socks and shove them into snowboarding boots or wear them around your drafty house to keep your feet nice and toasty. The top features a knit-in ribbing with duel blue stripes while the vertically knit body hosts to integrated ribbing above the articulated heel for long-lasting comfort and abrasion resistance and a shaped toe without a bulky seam to rub and annoy.
Bernard Gant moved from Ukraine to America in 1914 and settled into Manhattan's Garment district. The industrious immigrant felt that this was the time and place to shape his American dream. He began producing iconic pieces for the ivy league just as the university style was catching on. In 1973 Bernard's sons launched "Rugger by Gant" and took the rugby look off the field and into the arms of a generation of reckless youth.
Today, Swedish born head designer Christopher Bastin designs with Gant's extensive archives close to heart. His spin on ivy league style produces a very classic, highly accessible American preppy image.
