Fourth Generation, Women Owned
Founded in 1902 and now led by the founder's great granddaughters, Crescent Sock Company carries four generations of craft forward.
World's Softest Socks
It all started in Niota, Tennessee in 1902, when our family opened a hosiery mill to bring jobs to our small town. Out of that mill came a sock so soft it had to be felt to be believed. Today, World's Softest has grown into a full lineup of styles, lengths, and colors knit in our Tennessee mill and through trusted partners in South Korea.
Every pair is designed for fashion-forward softness and gift-worthy moments. When you put a pair of World’s Softest Socks on, it’s like walking on clouds.

Watch Our Journey
Family-Run, Tennessee-Rooted
For more than 120 years, what started as Crescent Hosiery Mill has grown into Crescent Sock Company, and the heart of the business has not moved an inch. We are still family-owned, still rooted in Niota, Tennessee, and still investing in our community, our employees, and the brands we build here.
That family spirit runs deeper than ownership. Inside our mill, you will find siblings on the same line, parents and children on the same shift, and grandparents passing down know-how to the next generation. At Crescent Sock Company, family is not a marketing line. It is who shows up to work every morning.
