Still Made in Vermont, USA
The “still” in the Still Made in Vermont, USA is a personal thing. We’ve been running the Mill for over 40 years, but Darn Tough Vermont – the sock unconditionally guaranteed for life – started in 2004.
When things were a little rough for American manufacturing, the Cabot family could have taken manufacturing somewhere else, and still made a buck. They didn’t. Instead, we rallied and started knitting the best, most durable sock we could imagine. We made something we could be proud of. We’re still doing that.
Sock Capital of the World
We didn’t make Northfield, Vermont. Northfield made us.
A lot of us call this town our home. It’s beautiful here. But the living’s not always easy – it’s a bit out of the way, seems to get colder than normal, and the cell service is questionable at best.
It’s why this community knits what people consider the best sock they’ve ever worn. Singular focus, in a gorgeous, but tough environment. Quality over quantity – this town has earned it.
We Knit a Longer Lasting Sock
Owning our process feels good, and it puts our destiny in our hands. Unconditionally guaranteeing a sock for life requires a level of diligence we cannot surrender. Our socks are more durable than they were before. They will be more durable than they are now. We have yet to produce our best sock.
