Originals Fine Rib — the everyday sock Democratique was built on
A close, even rib knitted at 200-needle density in 75% organic combed cotton, finished with a hand-linked toe seam so there is no ridge across the toes. It sits mid-calf, holds its shape without gripping, and moves between a suit, denim and trainers without looking out of place in any of them.
The Fine Rib is the reference point for the rest of the range — available across the full Democratique palette, from the deep neutrals through to the brighter seasonal colours. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and built to last for years of regular wear rather than a single season. Designed in Copenhagen.
FAQ
What is a 200-needle sock?
A 200-needle sock is knitted on a machine with 200 needles around the sock, which gives a finer, denser and smoother knit. The Originals Fine Rib is knitted this way in 75% organic combed cotton — what is combed cotton?
Are fine rib socks good for dress shoes?
Yes — a thin, close fine rib sits flat inside a dress shoe, and the hand-linked toe seam means no ridge across the toes. See our guide to socks with dress shoes.
What are Originals Fine Rib socks made of?
75% organic combed cotton, 23% polyamide and 2% elastane, with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification on every component. The polyamide and elastane help the sock hold its shape without gripping.
How much do Originals Fine Rib socks cost?
A single pair costs 60 DKK. Packs bring the price down — a 12-pack works out at 50 DKK per pair.
