THE ADLER CO.

— THIS BRAND IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION —

The Adler Co was a legendary hosier from Cincinnati, Ohio, which began manufacturing in 1860 as part of Fairmount Woolen Mills. They produced a range of socks for young men of good taste, with their fuzzy socks becomming particularly iconic and a key part of the American Trad / Ivy League look and subsequent revivals. The socks were thick and luxurious, offering great comfort to the wearer. They were a popular choice amongst working men and serious outdoorsmen too, even if the brand came to be most associated with the preppy look, especially when worn with Bass Weejuns. The brand was acquired by Burlington Industries in 1959 before being phased out completely by 1970. Deadstock can still be found occasionally in the most astute clothing stores and, more likely, in thrift stores in the United States and Japan.
