Mens Borders Check Socks

Borders Check Socks

The Borders Check Socks are traditional Scottish-made shooting socks that combine a classic country look with a merino-rich construction designed for regular wear in the field. Worn with breeks and shooting boots, they bring distinctive pattern and character to a traditional shooting outfit while remaining practical for days outdoors.

The standout feature is the Borders Check pattern at the turnover top. Smaller and more refined than a traditional chessboard design, the repeating check creates a smart, detailed finish that complements tweed breeks and country clothing without appearing overly bold. It adds visual interest while retaining the understated style associated with classic field sports attire.

House of Cheviot knits the Borders Check Socks in Scotland using a blend of 85% merino wool, 10% nylon and 5% Lycra. The merino-rich yarn delivers a soft feel, while the nylon content helps improve durability for regular wear. Lycra adds stretch throughout the sock, helping it maintain a comfortable fit during long days on the peg, walks across rough ground or time spent around the estate.
