Pima Cotton Socks

Pima socks refer to high-quality hosiery made from Pima cotton, a luxury fiber known for its extra-long staple length, which results in softer, stronger, and more durable fabric. Unlike a single localized brand, Pima is a generic trade name for a specific type of cotton (Gossypium barbadense). While the name 'Pima' originates from the Pima Indians of Arizona who helped pioneer the US production, the fiber is primarily grown in the United States, Peru, and Australia.

Because Pima is a material and not exclusive to one company, various global brands such as Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, and specialized luxury hosiery companies utilize it. Manufacturing often takes place in Peru (where much of the highest-rated Pima is harvested) or in regional fashion hubs like Italy, Portugal, and the United States. Ownership of these products depends entirely on the specific clothing brand that manufactures and markets the socks.
