DeadSoxy manufactures on Italian-made Lonati knitting machines, widely recognized as the global standard for premium sock production, with a 96-to-200-needle range depending on sock type.

DeadSoxy operates three distinct manufacturing programs: Custom Logo socks (from 100 pairs, with volume pricing down to $5.27/pair), White Label Pima Cotton and Merino Wool dress socks (starting at 72 pairs), and Private Label / OEM production (600 pairs total, 200 per color, with full product development from fiber to finish).
