KENTWOOL Launches High-Performance, Golf-Specific Compression Sock

Made-in-the-USA Merino Wool Line Enhances Comfort and Circulation

(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL – the 170-year-old, family-owned premier textile innovator and maker of performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – announces launch of The Graduate, the sport’s first merino wool graduated compression sock.

Made-in-the-USA and now available at www.KENTWOOLSocks.com, The Graduate helps promote proper circulation via a compression profile that fits snuggly around the ankle and gradually loosens as it rises along the calf. These knee-high socks are designed to increase recirculation of blood from the foot and lower leg to the heart, helping to relieve fatigue and cramps while speeding recovery.

“Our entire collection was born from the idea of creating socks that help golfers feel and play their best,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “We’re taking that to another level by combining our signature comfort and blister-free guarantee with proven medical research to create the ultimate compression sock.”

Retailing for $40.00 and available in natural or black colors, The Graduate is exceptionally breathable to keep players comfortable in all conditions. It features the same proprietary blend of natural and high-tech performance fibers found across the entire KENTWOOL line. This creates an innovative, micro-climate system that provides superior cushioning, moisture management, odor defense, durability and abrasion-resistance.

KENTWOOL socks – including Low Profile, Tour Profile, Tour Standard and 19th Hole models – are trusted by scores of Tour stars, including Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Jonathan Byrd, Ryann O’Toole, Peter Jacobsen, Duffy Waldorf, Brendon de Jonge, Tom Gillis, Jane Park, Catriona Matthew, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Kristy McPherson, Shasta Averyhardt, Jenny Suh, Sarah Kemp, Jenny Gleason, Meaghan Francella and Jenny Hong.

About KENTWOOL

Founded in 1843, KENTWOOL continues to be one of the nation’s longest-running, family-owned textile companies. KENTWOOL is the only company in the western hemisphere — and one of 50 in the world — to receive the Usterized Quality Certification indicating the highest level of quality assurance in yarn production.

An avid golfer, KENTWOOL CEO Mark Kent had the idea to produce the “World’s Best Golf Sock” after standing in the 18th fairway of the BMW Nationwide Tour Pro-Am tending to blistered, bleeding feet instead of concentrating on the eagle opportunity guaranteeing him a spot in the final round.

Born from that moment is golf’s leading, premium merino wool golf sock. It enables golfers of all abilities to play their best while benefiting from abrasion and fatigue resistance, as well as KENTWOOL’s blister-free guarantee. KENTWOOL utilizes its nearly two-century-old heritage of superiority in textiles to create socks which draw upon wool’s natural and cool performance fibers for moisture management, sheer comfort and other performance-enhancing benefits.

Based in Greenville, SC, all KENTWOOL products are made in the USA.
