ANT45

ANT45 is an Italian sock brand launched in 2021 by Calzificio Bonadei, a family hosiery factory in Brescia that has been making socks since 1945. Everything is overseen in the factory, from choosing the yarns to the final inspection, and those yarns include cotton, cashmere, linen, silk and wool. The design is deliberately plain, with clean lines and little branding. The PURE capsule shows the approach well: organic Egyptian ELS Filoscozia, knitted on old double-cylinder machines and finished with hand-linked closing. It comes in four textures (Micro Pois, Necktie, Oxford and Twin Rib) and a palette of blues. A good pick if you want socks made to last.
