About Companions makes these socks from 66 percent wool and 28 percent alpaca hair, which makes them warm and soft. The remainder is polyester and spandex for durability and shape retention. The knit features a distinctive heathered look. The cuff is crafted using a fine ribbed knit, while the leg and instep feature a wide ribbed knit; the rest is stockinette stitch.

The About Companions label is based in Berlin and stands for stylish everyday wear in the men's fashion sector. The collection includes shirts, tops, suits and knitwear, most of which are made from natural fibers. Behind the brand are Stephan Sunder-Plassmann and Thies Meyer, two friends since childhood. In their understanding, fashion is a complex undertaking that has many facets. This starts with the designs. About Companions' designs stand for casual classics with a well thought-out fit, stylish, timeless and contemporary at the same time, manufactured with an understanding of quality that allows the pieces to last for years. Production is carried out by experienced family businesses in Lithuania and Portugal, with which the two founders maintain close relationships.
