These are genuine British Navy Knee High Socks issued for official service.
Naval Issue and Material
Issued to Royal Navy personnel, these British Navy Knee High Socks were built for severe conditions at sea. They feature a 70% wool and 30% nylon blend, combining natural temperature regulation with extra synthetic strength. Wool retains warmth even when damp, making it ideal for wet maritime environments and cold boot wear.
Knee-High Fit and Durability
The extended knee-high length provides complete calf protection inside tall combat or work boots. A full ribbed knit structure holds the leg secure without cutting off circulation. High-wear contact points at the heel and toe are heavily reinforced to prevent friction wear and premature holes during long marches.
Authentic Details and Care
Finished in a natural off-white shade, each pair bears an authentic stamped numeral mark on the sole used for naval quartermaster sizing. These surplus items may display minor storage marks or age discolouration. A quick initial wash restores freshness for field use, bushcraft, or cold-weather work.
Equip your footwear with proven naval issue wool protection for demanding outdoor work.
This item was used by the British Navy during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
