Sustainability

Quality Materials. Sustainable Process.

Choosy. Meticulous. Uncompromising. When it comes to our materials and manufacturing, these all apply. We start with the highest quality materials, like organic cotton that is dyed with low-impact dyes. Our certified organic cotton is grown on farms in the Southern U.S. by farmers we actually know. After harvest, our cotton travels to the Carolinas where it is spun and dyed before arriving at our mill in Alabama.
 
We knit socks in very small batches at our family owned and operated mill. Our team of ten (including Mom and Dad) run the manufacturing process from start to finish. And, because our entire operation is under one roof, we're able to constantly monitor quality through each step of the process, minimize waste and deliver a stellar product. We do it all because we know a better process makes a better sock. 
 
We like to keep it all close to home. Our packaging, labels and marketing materials are printed within a small radius of our mill in Alabama and Georgia. 

Giving and Recycling. Our irregular socks are donated to homelessness shelters and community organizations in Alabama.

We have some socks that are not fit for donations. These, along with any manufacturing waste, are repurposed or recycled. When recycled, these are transformed into fiber used for carpet padding in the automotive industry. 
 
We can recycle your old socks too! For more info, please see our zkano Recycles page.

    comfort and quality

    These are very nice socks: Up to the present, they fit well, are comfortable and seem to hold up through repeated washings, without stretching out. Finding a quality heavier weight sock has been a challenge lately. I am so glad I found your site.

    Got for my hubbys birthday

    He loves them...he is picky when it comes to his socks.
    This style is just right for him.
    Will be ordering more later on in the year.
    It's good to know we have socks made in the USA
    Thank you!

    High quality

    I'm very pleased so far. The quality is obvious upon initial inspection. I've worn these a few times now and they are comfortable, the toe seams are really awesome. You don't feel them at all. These are thicker, as the heavyweight descrition implies. I'm very happy to be buying a product that is American made, right here in my home state. I plan on purchasing more and supporting this family business. Thank you!

    First time purchaser

    I bought these socks for my husband to try. I was looking for American made. I am tired giving my money to foreign countries. He has worn 1 pair so far. And so far so good. He has no complaints.

    Unmatched quality. 10+ yrs

    My husband brought home zkano socks over a decade ago. He bought them from the manufacturer's location while he was servicing some of their equipment. I had never heard of them, even though they're a local company. 10 years later, he's started walking holes into the heels and the seams are beginning to come unthreaded. I bought a different, less expensive brand, for him at Christmas last year. Those began falling apart months after. I rounded back around and bought him more zkanos. While doing laundry tonight I had to laugh, as we're still cycling through decade old zkanos socks with the new ones, and tossing other brands nearly every week as they come apart. 💙
