Welcome to a special 60th anniversary sock. "The Thunderball" by The London Sock Exchange is released in a limited edition pale blue marl to celebrate the Thunderball anniversary and pay homage to the iconic Sean Connery scene from the 1965 film. Beready to make a splash. With Bond icons woven into the very stitch of the cloth, this design features mini 007's in classic orange scuba kit and purple flippers.
Backstory. As the fourth film in the series, Thunderball (1965) built on James Bond's status as a man of action. 25% of the movie's screen time takes place underwater and Special effect supervisor John Stears won the Oscar for visual effects for his remarkable achievements.
Details. A sky blue sock with mini 007 motifs in classic pose. Each and every sock is crafted for comfort and style, woven with 200 needles - the highest gauge used on socks. Due to the density of this weave, the socks are not only finer but also stronger than your average pair. The toe is handlinked for a perfect, seamless finish and maximum comfort. Each pair is finished with a honeycomb welt, to give a more comfortable, flexible fit around the calf.
Material. 69% cotton, 30% nylon, 1% elastane. The sock is principally constructed out of cotton; the finer nylon fibre is used for the detailed motifs and elastane is used in the ankle band to make sure it stays up on the calf.
Size. 7-12 (UK) / 41-47 (EU)
Styling notes.Take a deep breath, dive into your wardrobe, fish out your most trusted navy sweater and deep blue jeans, and get ready to make waves.
The maker. When school friends Dan and Oli founded The London Sock Exchange in 2014, they ripped up the rulebook when it comes to making high-quality high-street socks. Since then, they've been on a mission: to make the ultimate luxury sock for the many. That means each pair of socks is finished by hand, for seamless comfort. It means each of the socks features a unique honey-comb welt up top, for greater flexibility and fit on the calf. And it means each pair feature only the best in British design, each woven with 200 needles for a finer, stronger finish.
