Pair of women's 'tabi' socks. The two-toed socks, made of a synthetic white fabric with stiffer cotton material in the sole, are open at the heel with four metal fasteners and twisted thread loops.

Pair of white cotton socks lined with white cotton fabric and padded with cotton batting. Socks are joined to lining with a concealed seam, and sewn along the outer edges with a concealed seam. Ankles are straight, curving out slightly at the back, and heels are rounded. Arch is slightly raised, and toes point downwards, curving up to a point at the top of the toes. Socks are stitched firmly together at the inner top of the ankles.

A pair (parts a-b) of man’s long tubular heel-less wool socks decorated with multi-coloured designs. The interlooped fabric is very strong, and dense, and it has almost no stretch. The toes of the socks are embellished with brown chevron designs on an off-white ground. From the ankle to the knee, there are bands of stylized floral, and abstract shapes worked in green, purple, red, orange, and pink, some on a brown background while some on an off-white background. The tops are finished with a band of looped yarn and tassels made from twisted yarn. The two socks are identical in size, colour, and design.

Pair of white socks (part a-b). The sock has wide ankles, rounded heel and foot angled downward. Two layers of fabric are sewn together around the edge. The outer is of heavy white nylon fabric, and the inner layer is heavy white cotton fabric. The cotton layer has a machine stitched hem at the top. A gold and red paper label is pasted on one side of each sock.

Pair of baby’s socks (part a-b) made of white fabric, finely quilted in narrow parallel rows. The rows on the foot are vertical; those on the front of the ankle are diagonal. Socks are flat, with a seam around outer edge. The two layers are joined with an invisible stitching seam at the top. They are embroidered with floral motifs in blue-green and dark pink and four lozenges in dark pink and green. There is a dark pink tassel on the toe and a long white tie attached at the back of the ankle.

Pair of coarse white cotton socks (part a-b). The sock has wide ankles, rounded heel and foot angled downward. The fabric is folded over at the top to form a double layer with the seam joining the layers and outlining the rest of the sock. The edges of the fabric are concealed between the layers. Uneven rows of machine stitching reinforce or repair the area above the heel.

A pair of child’s flat socks made of two pieces of fine plain white silk lined with coarser off-white cotton cloth. The silk is folded over towards the inside at the top and sewn to the cotton cloth in an invisible seam along the front, bottom and back of each sock. No stitching is visible as all is concealed between the two layers of fabric. There is a small opening on the inside front seam of each sock. The heel of each sock curves outward and the toes curve upward, ending in a point.
