What is half british™?

half british™ is a London-based luxury essentials brand making premium socks crafted from natural fibres, including alpaca and merino wool, with a focus on understated design, comfort, and material integrity.

What fibres do you use?

We work with world-class natural fibres, including alpaca and merino wool, selected for softness, warmth, breathability, and everyday durability.

Are alpaca socks warm?

Yes. Alpaca fibre is naturally warm while remaining breathable, making it ideal for cold days and comfortable indoor wear.

How do alpaca socks compare to merino wool socks?

Alpaca is known for its exceptional softness and warmth, while merino wool is prized for temperature regulation and versatility. Both are premium natural fibres designed for comfortable, refined daily wear.

Where are your socks made?

Our socks are crafted with a focus on British refinement and timeless design. Product pages include the most specific details on materials and manufacturing for each style.

How should I care for alpaca or merino socks?

For best results, wash gently at low temperatures with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Always follow the care instructions provided with your pair.
