Stance Socks California Republic 2 Crew Off White
The California state flag knitted into a crew sock — the bear, the star and the lettering on off white, with olive heel and toe and a red, green and blue striped foot.
One of Stance's longest-running designs and still one of the best. The flag motif is knitted in rather than printed, so the olive bear, the red star and the brown CALIFORNIA lettering are part of the fabric. Underneath the graphics it is a proper everyday sock: 74% combed cotton for softness that lasts, mid-weight cushioning concentrated where your foot loads, and a seamless toe closure so nothing rubs.
- 74% combed cotton — the short fibres are combed out before spinning, which is what makes it smoother against the skin and longer-wearing than standard cotton
- Knitted flag graphics, not a print — the bear, star and lettering are worked into the yarn, so nothing peels, cracks or washes out
- Mid cushioning with targeted support and deep heel pockets — padding where your foot actually loads, with reinforced olive heel and toe panels taking the wear

Questions we get asked
Which size am I?
Medium is UK men's 5.5–7.5 (women's 6–8.5), Large is UK men's 8.5–12.5. These come off the sock's own swing tag, which runs slightly wider than the chart on Stance's website.
Will the bear fade or crack?
No. It is knitted from coloured yarn rather than printed on top, so there is nothing on the surface to wear away.
How thick are they?
Mid cushion — more than a dress sock, less than a thick walking sock. Comfortable in an everyday trainer.
How do I wash them?
40°C as the label says. At 74% cotton they can shrink a little on a hotter wash, so cooler and air-dried keeps them true to size.
Are they men's or women's?
Unisex. Go by the UK shoe size rather than the label — the Medium band covers both.
