What to know about Wigwam
Still knitting in Wisconsin
Fourth-generation family ownership in Sheboygan since 1905, with most of the line still made domestically — unusual at this price for socks.
The 622 slouch is the anchor
The cotton 622 slouch sock became a 1980s and 1990s staple and still headlines the heritage side of the range.
Performance range has real engineering
Patented Ultimax moisture management and INgenious constructions run through the merino hiking, ski, running and cushioned work socks; official sock of U.S. Ski & Snowboard since 2022.
