“We’re the only sock company left in the Northeast; nobody does socks in Vermont,” Cabot says. “I sort of like that
challenge. One day I hope to look back on this and say, ‘I told you so. We did it.’”
As the maker and marketer of Darn Tough Vermont we are unique. In an era of outsourcing and corporate take overs, we are still true to our roots.
Family owned and run, in Vermont, since 1978. In a word, local. Our experience is our reputation and we back it up with our lifetime guarantee. If our All
Weather Performance Socks aren't the most comfortable and durable socks you've ever owned, return them for your money back."
As we like to say, "We know socks, we wear 'em year 'round."™
“People are proud of what they do, and at the end of the day they know they’ve produced something — they’ve taken an idea and made a product. It’s not a
service industry or a phone center. It’s making something tangible and they feel good about it, and so do I.” - Ric Cabot, President
Over 30 years ago our family opened a mill and began making socks in Northfield, Vermont.
Frigid winters and humid summers taught us that all socks are not created equally. Living in the most unforgiving climate in the lower 48, our socks had to be tough and of course they certainly had to keep our feet dry and warm. Whether skiing, hiking, biking, climbing or running, our Darn Tough Vermont socks kept our feet oblivious to the elements.
Our team spent over a year testing yarn combinations and designs, confident that during this process we could create something unique; a sock that we could guarantee for life. And as a 3rd generation sock guy, I can tell you that what has kept my family in the sock business, in America, is the pursuit of quality.
To date, DARN TOUGH VERMONT, is the culmination of those efforts.

In Stitches:
The only remaining sock manufacturer in Vermont is doing quite well.
Brown eyes may run in families, — or big feet, or straight teeth — but socks?
Socks do run in Ric Cabot’s family. He is proud of being the third generation in the sock business — and when he talks about Cabot Hosiery Mills Inc., he looks forward to a fourth generation in the business — even though his son, Benjamin, is just over 3 years old.
That’s the kind of vision and passion Cabot has for the Northfield business that he owns with his father, Marc, who started making socks in Vermont
in 1978. Marc was following in the footsteps of his father, who had been in the sock business in New Hampshire and North Carolina.

Patriotism, Jobs Primary Motivations for 'Buying American'
PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-five percent of Americans say they recently made a special effort to buy products made in the United States. When asked why, these shoppers mainly cited patriotic or altruistic goals related to the national economy, including creating and keeping jobs in the U.S., rather than product-specific considerations such as quality, safety, or cost.
