We use super soft, silky smooth Scottish Lisle cotton yarns combined with elastic synthetic fibres to create our socks. The exact composition is 75% Scottish Lisle Cotton, 23% polyamide, and 2% Elastane. The socks are 100% skin tolerable & allergy-tested.

How do I take care of my socks?
To minimize tear and maximize the durability of the socks, we recommend washing them inside out at 30°C with similar colours. Do not machine dry, dry clean, iron or bleach them. After washing, the socks may appear smaller, but they will return to their original size once put on. You will also find care instructions on the sock label.
GENERAL FAQ
Why are you displaying your production costs?
We all know that fashion brands heavily mark-up their prices. The traditional mark-up is 5-6 times. The mark-up for luxury brands can even be 10-15 times. They can do so, because we as consumers don't know the actual production price. We firmly believe that you have a right to know. That is the only way to empower you to make more informed and better purchasing positions. You can find the exact price-breakdown for each product in the “What it costs” section.
How do you calculate the traditional retail price?
This is how the fashion industry works traditionally:
Production Price x 2 - 2,5 (on average) = Wholesale Price
Wholesale Price x 2 - 2,5 (on average) = Traditional Retail Price
Take one of our Socks for example. The Production Price is 3,58€.
Wholesale Price: 3,58€ x 2 = 7,16€
Traditional Retail Price: 7,16€ x 2,4 = 17,00€
Dalgado Price: 3,58 x 3,3 = 12,00€
We cut out the middle man, sell directly to you and pass the savings on to you. Our average mark-up is 3 times.
Why is transparency so important to you?
The fashion industry is notoriously opaque and deceiving. As a consumer you get hardly any reliable information on the actual origin of the materials and manufacturing conditions. We firmly believe the industry is fundamentally flawed. You have every right to know exactly what you are buying. That is why we reveal exactly where our products are made, what they are made of, and what they cost.
What does climate positive & plastic positive mean?
There is only one Earth and it is our responsibility to take care of it. Yet, regardless of how environmentally-friendly our materials and production processes are, every product has an ecological footprint. We do everything in our power to make sure it’s a positive one. For every single order, we plant one tree with our partner On A Mission and remove 1kg of plastic from our beloved Oceans with our partner Empower.
Being climate positive means that we as a Company go beyond achieving net zero carbon emissions and actually create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Being plastic positive means that we as a Company remove more plastic from the oceans than is created during our entire production.
