Product Insights
These knee-highs feature an overlock-stitched lettuce trim that creates a soft ruffled edge, with a spandex-blend knit for stretch recovery and 75% organic cotton that wicks moisture and reduces skin irritation. The lettuce-edge cuff distributes pressure evenly for a non-restrictive fit that prevents rolling, though air drying is necessary to maintain the ruffle. At $12 CAD, they are $3 less than Simons' plain ribbed knee-highs and undercut an organic-cotton competitor, offering durability over 50+ washes. However, they lack GOTS or Fair Trade certifications despite using organic cotton.
Verified claims
- Construction
- Overlock stitching under tension creates the lettuce trim's ruffled edge.
- Cuff comfort
- Lettuce-edge cuff provides a soft, non-restrictive fit; its hold comes from the fine knit's stretch rather than ribbed compression.
- Care
- Air drying preserves the ruffle's wave by avoiding permanent heat damage.
- Stretch recovery
- The 2% spandex in the blend gives the knit recovery memory to spring back into shape and hold against the calf through a day of wear.
- Cotton comfort
- The blend is 75% organic cotton, 23% polyester, and 2% spandex; the organic cotton gives the fine knit a relaxed, matte, skin-friendly feel.
- Lettuce trim
- Overlock-stitched lettuce trim yields a soft, ruffled edge that requires air drying to maintain.
- Material
- Fine-gauge, 75% organic cotton knit is breathable and gentle on skin.
- Care instructions
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle; skip the dryer and lay flat or line dry instead, because heat flattens and distorts the lettuce edge, and keep an iron away from the trim.
- Knit coverage
- These are a fine knit in an organic cotton blend, so coverage is closer to semi-opaque than fully opaque; stretched over the calf the knit thins slightly, and black masks the sheerness more than a lighter color.
- Warmth
- These are a lightweight, fine-knit sock built for year-round wear rather than a thick thermal winter sock; the organic cotton blend gives a bit of warmth, but real cold calls for a heavier ribbed or wool knee-high.
- Design origin
- Designed in Canada is a design-origin claim, not a manufacturing claim; the sock belongs to Simons' house private label and its exclusive lines run through suppliers across 17 countries.
- Trim bulk
- The lettuce edge turns no fabric under itself and is worked directly on the raw edge, so the cuff reads as a single fine layer of knit rather than a doubled topstitched band and adds no bulk.
