The History of Crescent, Inc.
and The World's Softest Sock®
Crescent, Inc. was founded in Niota, Tennessee
in 1902. Today, this fourth-generation family business is the oldest
continuously operating hosiery mill in the U.S.A., making over
25 million pairs of socks each year for some of the biggest names
in clothing. Crescent began making its own line, World's Softest
Sock® in
1991.
The World's Softest Sock was born from one single thought...Softness.
From this simple beginning, we have quietly become Crescent's fastest
growing brand. Today you can find a complete line of socks for
any occasion. From the timeless styling and function of our Men's
and Women's Classic Collections, to the ultimate
snuggly softness of our Cozy Collection,
the World's Softest Sock has you covered.
Thanks to feedback from our passionate customers, we are proud
to introduce two new Collections to the family. The Sensitive
Feet Collection features socks that are clinically designed and created
for people with sensitive feet. Our new Everyday
Collection combines
all the features you know and love from the Classic Collection
in a more refined, light weight sock.
World's Softest Sock... "Like walking on clouds!"

Look for our cloud... It's your assurance that
