Question 1

What are Quince cashmere socks made from?

Accepted Answer

They're knit from premium, Grade-A Mongolian cashmere. You'll find a relaxed slouch sock and a finer trouser sock, both in the same fiber.

Question 2

What's the difference between a slouch and a trouser sock?

Accepted Answer

The slouch sock is knit loose and worn pushed down around the ankle, and the trouser sock is finer and smoother so it slips easily under a shoe.

Question 3

Are cashmere socks warm enough on their own?

Accepted Answer

They are, and that's the appeal. Cashmere holds a lot of warmth for very little weight, so even a thin cashmere sock keeps your feet comfortable on a cold floor.

Question 4

What makes cashmere so soft?

Accepted Answer

It's the fineness of the fiber. Cashmere hairs are far finer than most wool, and that fineness is what gives it the softness it's known for.

Question 5

Which pair should I wear out of the house?

Accepted Answer

The trouser sock is the one to wear out of the house. It's knit fine and smooth enough to slip into your shoe, so you get cashmere warmth and softness wherever the day takes you.

Question 6

What does Grade-A cashmere mean?

Accepted Answer

Grade-A describes the length and fineness of the fiber, and the longer, finer fibers grade highest, and that's what gives these socks their softness and helps them hold their shape.

Question 7

What other sock heights does Quince make?

Accepted Answer

Quince also knits ankle, quarter, crew and over-the-calf socks, in cotton, merino-cashmere, alpaca and performance knits.

Question 8

Are cashmere socks thin enough to wear inside shoes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cashmere is a very fine fiber that holds a lot of warmth for how little it weighs, so a cashmere sock is thin enough to disappear into a shoe and still keep you comfortable on a cold floor. The trouser sock is fine and smooth for wearing under a shoe, while the slouch sock is knit loose for relaxing at home.
