At The English Hatter, you will discover the unmistakable charm of Burlington – the brand that transformed the classic argyle check into a global phenomenon. The characteristic diamond patterns, often accompanied by the recognizable metal clip on each sock, have been a symbol of quality, luxury and a touch of British tradition for decades.
From North Carolina to a global brand
Burlington was founded in 1923 in Greensboro, North Carolina. However, the brand only really broke through in 1975, when the first socks with the famous argyle pattern conquered the market. Since 2008, Burlington has been part of the German FALKE Group; production takes place in Europe according to strict quality standards and with OEKO-TEX®-certified materials, which guarantees skin-friendly, sustainably produced socks.
Burlington's DNA: argyle, color and comfort
Each Burlington sock is a modern take on Scottish heritage. The iconic check design is updated with new colourways, from muted navy to bold red-green, making them the perfect finishing touch to a classic Oxford suit or a casual pair of chinos and trainers. Made from premium cotton, wool and merino blends, they feel soft, breathe easily and retain their shape for longer.
