About Us

Parker Legwear was chosen to be the exclusive supplier of Sierra Club socks because the "fit" was just right… right down to the two organizations' values and their common concern for the planet we call home.

Parker has been making top-quality socks in the mountains of Western North Carolina for over 60 years, and is now led by 3rd-generation siblings Jeff and Amy Parker. Their eco-friendly products are made to the highest standards of comfort and quality using recycled and organic materials. Always a family-owned and operated company, Parker Legwear is one of the few hosiery companies still producing in N.C.

Doing the right things by their customers, employees and planet Earth has kept the Parkers' business thriving over the decades. They've consistently leveraged technological innovations like the mechanically-linked toe seam-the most comfortable toe seam on the market-to stay one step ahead of the pack and produce the finest socks available.

By working with recycled materials, Parker Legwear conserves many limited resources, reduces the energy required during multiple phases of production, diminishes the carbon footprint of manufacturing and eases the impact on the environment. Using organic cotton eliminates the need for tons of toxic pesticides.

Indeed, Sierra Club socks by Parker are perfect for treading lightly on the planet.
