Still Made in Vermont, USA

The “still” in the Still Made in Vermont, USA is a personal thing. We’ve been running the Mill for over 40 years, but Darn Tough Vermont – the sock unconditionally guaranteed for life – started in 2004.

When things were a little rough for American manufacturing, the Cabot family could have taken manufacturing somewhere else, and still made a buck. They didn’t. Instead, we rallied and started knitting the best, most durable sock we could imagine. We made something we could be proud of. We’re still doing that.

Sock Capital of the World

We didn’t make Northfield, Vermont. Northfield made us.

A lot of us call this town our home. It’s beautiful here. But the living’s not always easy – it’s a bit out of the way, seems to get colder than normal, and the cell service is questionable at best.

It’s why this community knits what people consider the best sock they’ve ever worn. Singular focus, in a gorgeous, but tough environment. Quality over quantity – this town has earned it.

We Knit a Longer Lasting Sock

Owning our process feels good, and it puts our destiny in our hands. Unconditionally guaranteeing a sock for life requires a level of diligence we cannot surrender. Our socks are more durable than they were before. They will be more durable than they are now. We have yet to produce our best sock.

One Family

Jody N. – Logistics

Families as tight knit as ours share everything. It’s always been that way here. For Jody, that means a lot. She works upstairs in Logistics. And her daughter, Brianna, works downstairs packaging orders. So, when the Mill gets busy, Jody often walks down to help. “That’s what families do, and ours is no different.”

Rachel — Floater

In her 18 months at Darn Tough, Rachel has done a little bit of everything – including master the art of gift giving. Although she wears many hats, her responsibilities as a floater require that she also wear socks (and closed toe shoes for safety). But she’s always on the hunt to find socks for her friends and family – like the Duck Duck Moose – which honors nature in New England. And because, Rachel says, they’re cute.
