Tender’s rib cotton socks are knitted and hand linked in England from raw unbleached cotton, with nylon for durability, then dyed with natural dyes. 

Mars black is an artists’ pigment derived from iron oxide in magnetite, or lodestone. Unlike plant and animal-derived black pigments, Mars black is particularly stable and gives a deep, clean colour when mixed into paint.

Mars black was developed in the late 19th Century, and is named for the Roman deity Mars, god of iron and of war and agriculture.

Tender’s socks are made with a loop-back, or terry, double knit sole. This makes them especially comfortable, and appropriate to wear with lighter shoes or even heavy boots.
