Mismatched Socks: Starboard and Port Markers

On board a boat, there is no mistaking port for starboard. For centuries, red has marked the port side, while green indicates starboard. An essential point of reference for sailors... and a natural source of inspiration for this original creation by Augustin.

With these mismatched socks, each foot shows its heading: 'Port' in red on one sock, 'Starboard' in green on the other. A playful, humorous nod that will speak instantly to enthusiasts of navigation, sailing and the maritime world.

Their deep navy blue background lends a discreet elegance that makes them just as easy to wear with jeans as with smart trousers. Original without being flamboyant, they will raise a smile among those in the know while remaining easy to wear every day.

Since 1996, Augustin has been designing socks that put comfort, quality and durability first. Because a fine pair of socks should be as pleasant to wear as it is to look at, we select quality materials and pay particular attention to every detail of their manufacture.

Comfort and resistance for everyday wear

Made from 78% cotton, 20% polyamide and 2% elastane (Lycra®), these socks offer a soft, breathable and supple knit that ensures an excellent hold throughout the day.

The toes and heels are reinforced, the most heavily used areas. This design improves their resistance to wear and allows them to keep their comfort and shape for a long time.

Made in Italy with renowned hosiery expertise, they meet the quality standards that have built Augustin's reputation for almost 30 years.

Whether you are a boater, a sailor, a racer or simply a lover of the sea, these Port / Starboard socks add a touch of originality full of character. They also make an excellent gift idea for anyone who loves sailing boats, harbours, lighthouses and maritime heritage.
