It is 1912 when, in Milan, the Sozzi brothers begin to produce silk and Scottish thread cotton socks. With a careful and passionate manual processing, they satisfy the desires of gentlemen and ladies searching for elegance and refinement.
After the years of darkness of the two world wars, the company specializes in the production of men's socks. The best natural materials are selected to give life to excellence accessories that soon become the pride of the brand.
The Calzificio undergoes decades of development, maturing to become a company that is able to prosper thanks to an immediately recognizable quality that is appreciated by increasingly attached customers. The mission of Sozzi Milano is simple yet ambitious: to transform a seemingly trivial accessory like the men's sock into an authentic declaration of style, an element capable of reflecting the refined character of the gentleman who wears it. The Calzificio lives the transition to the new millennium with the helm of the company in the hands of Franco Sozzi, son and grandson of the founders, determined to preserve and enhance the excellence that embodies the philosophy and identity of a brand that has become a historical.
In 2018, the Calzificio was acquired by the Ciocca group, which recognized the invaluable value of a century-old experience and inherited the commitment to search for precious yarns and increasingly refined production processes.
More than a century after the creation of the first pair of Sozzi socks, the company's products continue to prove themselves to be small masterpieces of skill and artisan talent: the quality of the materials meets scrupulous management of all production phases, and traditional processes combine with the most innovative machinery for absolutely extraordinary results. From the weaving of the fibers to the packaging of the socks, all production steps are rigorously and authentically Made in Italy. The Sock Factory creates precious four-thread silk organzines, designed to avoid elegant transparencies; gives life to refined inlay, baguette or embroidered spear motifs, applies special edges and enriches its creations with embroidery and monograms made entirely by hand in homage to the unforgettable workmanship of the past. All the materials used in the making of the socks are selected with the utmost care: soft cashmere, impalpable silk, pure wool, authentic Irish linen and varieties of fine cottons such as Filo di Scozia and “Sea Island”. Thanks to the excellent quality of the raw materials, to a passionate and constant stylistic research and to a service deeply oriented towards customer satisfaction, today Sozzi Milano is pleased to share its work with some of the biggest brands in the world of fashion through licensed production or under a private label regime. The company boasts collaborations with companies of the calibre of Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Paul Smith, Sunspel, Julipet and Conbipel. Every day the diligent industriousness of a machine room active 24 hours a day allows the Hosiery factory producing the most varied types of socks: from the most classic, made of wool, Scottish yarn or combed cotton, to the “fashion” ones, which intertwine different qualities of yarn in the finenesses of 240, 200, 168, 156 and 144 needles. From the doors of the company, very different socks appear on the market, ready to enter the daily life of the most refined men and accompany them on the most special days. Elegant, inlaid or sporty socks surprise the market with a timeless quality and special attention to contemporary taste, satisfied with the coexistence of classic colors and trendy shades, traditional patterns and modern fantasies.
