About
Darn Tough Vermont is a family-owned sock manufacturer based in Northfield, Vermont, known for producing high-performance, durable socks entirely within the United States. The company originated from Cabot Hosiery Mills, founded in 1978 by Marc Cabot. In 2004, facing challenges from overseas competition, Marc’s son, Ric Cabot, launched the Darn Tough brand with a commitment to quality and domestic manufacturing. This initiative introduced a line of premium socks backed by an unconditional lifetime guarantee, emphasizing durability and comfort.
All Darn Tough socks are crafted in Vermont using fine-gauge Merino wool, blended with nylon and Lycra for enhanced fit and resilience. The company employs high-density knitting techniques on advanced machines, allowing for precise construction without added bulk. Each sock undergoes rigorous quality control, including a boarding process where socks are shaped and inspected by hand. Darn Tough’s product line serves a variety of markets, including outdoor enthusiasts, workers, and the U.S. military, which values the brand’s commitment to domestic manufacturing and Berry Amendment compliance. With a mission to create the world’s best socks, Darn Tough continues to invest in its Vermont facilities and workforce, exemplifying the resilience and innovation of American manufacturing.
