About this piece

Break out the popcorn and put your day on “Do Not Disturb” in the plush comfort of the new Shorty sock.

But even if the goal is the path, this Shorty is more an invitation for you to study the art of stillness.

About the artist

Ric Cabot's family has been making socks in the same Northfield mill since 1978. When cheap imports nearly killed the business, Ric pivoted to premium merino wool and slapped an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every pair. The bet worked. Darn Tough now knits over 30,000 pairs a day, employs 300+ Vermonters, and has an estimated return rate under 3%.
