Socks Made in the USA

Still Made in Vermont, USA

The “still” in our promise is personal. We've owned and operated the Mill for over 40 years. However, in 2004, we introduced Darn Tough Vermont socks with an industry-first Lifetime Guarantee.

When things were a little rough for American manufacturing, the Cabot family could have taken manufacturing somewhere else, and still made a buck. We didn’t. Instead, we rallied and started knitting the best, most durable sock we could imagine. We made something we could be proud of.

We’re still doing that. And we still knit each pair of these made in USA socks, from start to finish, in Vermont.

Sock Capital of the World

We didn’t make Northfield, Vermont. Northfield made us.

A lot of us call this town our home. It’s beautiful here. But the living’s not always easy – it’s a bit out of the way, seems to get colder than normal, and the cell service is questionable at best.

It’s why this community knits what people consider the best American made socks, the best socks they’ve ever worn. Singular focus, in a gorgeous, but tough environment. Quality over quantity – this town has earned it.

"Nobody ever outsourced anything for quality."

We Knit a Longer Lasting Sock

Owning our process feels good, and it puts our destiny in our hands. Unconditionally guaranteeing a sock for life requires a level of diligence we cannot surrender. Our USA made socks are more durable than they were before. They will be more durable than they are now. We have yet to produce our best sock.

Joe N. — Int. Sales Manager

 “If we were manufacturing with factories overseas instead of in the US,” Joe said, “we wouldn't know the people making our socks. Our people are our superpower.” An integral part of our Sales team for nearly 10 years, Joe’s belief in the people who make the socks motivates him to help grow the brand internationally.

Outside of work, Joe cherishes quiet time cycling and snowshoeing through Vermont’s mountains with his daughter, Francesca. Together, the father-daughter duo rebuilt a 1977 Honda motorcycle they dubbed “Stinky.”
