Size M - Vintage Cross-Country Ski Wool Knicker Socks - Red with White Stripes - 1960sFreshly stripped off an octogenarian during our last trip to Norway (kidding), these socks will spiff up your vintage ski kit. Not for the dull, solid red with three white stripes probably represented the mark of a local Norwegian ski club, but I have no idea which one. Lightly used and no visible holes. Size medium, so good for a men's 8 or so. 50cm top to heel, 18cm heel to toe.
