  • It's Been a Wild and Wooly Year!

    Jan 06 at 12:35pm

    Hope everyone had a great Holiday season. With 2012 upon us, it’s given me cause to reflect on the past 12 months: what a busy year it’s been! As is always the case, there have been challenges and opportunities within the industry. Wool prices have remained high, even though cotton has come down.

    Fall is in the air. Bring on the wool! That’s what the clothing market is telling us, at least. Increased wool demand from countries like China, India and Europe indicate worldwide clothing demand is up. And wool prices are strong.

    Apr 28 at 8:17am

    Over the past couple of months, life at KENTWOOL has been dominated by the launch of our new KENTWOOL TOUR golf apparel brand, and the world’s best golf socks.  And as part of my own evolution, I’ve spent a lot more time on twitter and Facebook during that critical start-up phase than "blogging”!  But, I’m fired-up by a host of other KENTWOOL corporate initiatives that I want to shed a little light on – so expect to hear more from me (again) on this main KENTWOOL corporate site.

  • Professional Golfers Excited about Launch of Golf Socks

    Oct 23

    I had the opportunity to join some of our sponsored professional golfers at the recent LPGA Navistar Tournament in Alabama.  In addition to playing in the Pro-Am, we had the opportunity to meet & engage with almost every professional golfer in the tournament, as well as a lot of new audiences who were "wowed” by the socks – including former NBA star, Charles Barkley, who enthusiastically referred to us as "the sock guys” – a name that we realize may stick!
