Copenhagen Bamboo or JBS of Denmark for socks
Short answer: Copenhagen Bamboo has the largest selection of socks in the shop, while JBS of Denmark has a smaller group alongside its broad range of clothing. Both are everyday socks in bamboo viscose.
The selection
Socks are the largest group at Copenhagen Bamboo, in short and regular lengths and in many colours. At JBS of Denmark, socks are a smaller part of a broader range with underwear, nightwear and tops. If you want the most to choose from, Copenhagen Bamboo is the place.
The lengths
If you need short socks for trainers, both brands have them. For everyday wear with regular shoes, a regular length sock is the most common choice. See the short ones in bamboo trainer socks for men and the whole group in all bamboo socks for men.
The cuff
What decides comfort is the rib at the top. A soft cuff keeps the sock up without leaving marks on the leg in the evening. If it is too tight, you feel it after a few hours, and if it is too loose, the sock slides into the shoe. More in socks that do not squeeze.
Why bamboo in socks
Feet sweat more than you think, especially in closed shoes. Bamboo viscose absorbs moisture and draws it away from the skin, so the sock feels drier than a thin cotton sock. The fabric is also soft against the skin, which many appreciate when wearing shoes all day.
Colours
Both stick to the most worn colours, so you can add more later without the colours standing out. Black, grey and navy suit work and everyday wear, while lighter colours are often worn with trainers. See the selection for women in all bamboo socks for women.
Identical pairs make life easier
With many pairs in the same colour and model, you never have to hunt for the partner after washing. If one sock wears out, the other can be worn with another pair. That is why many buy several identical pairs once they have found a model that fits well.
Size
A sock that is too small pulls the heel under the foot and wears faster. A sock that is too large folds and can rub in the shoe. If you are between two sizes, choose based on the fit of your shoes. For snug shoes the smaller is often best.
How many pairs
Socks are changed every day, so with ten to fourteen pairs you can wash once a week without running out. The more pairs you rotate, the less each pair wears. The heel and toe take the most strain, and they last longer with more pairs in rotation.
Washing
Socks wear most in the wash and in the shoe. Wash at 40 degrees inside out, skip fabric softener and let them air dry, and the cuff and fabric will last longest. Avoid the tumble dryer, because heat wears the elastic in the rib. See all the advice in the washing guide.
How to choose
If you want the widest choice of lengths and colours, start with Copenhagen Bamboo. If you already buy underwear or nightwear from JBS of Denmark, it can be easy to pick up socks in the same place. The material is the same, so the two brands mix well in the drawer.
Frequently asked questions
Which brand has the most socks?
Copenhagen Bamboo has the largest selection of socks in the shop, in both short and regular lengths. JBS of Denmark has a smaller group of socks alongside its broad range.
What makes a sock comfortable?
Above all, the rib at the top. A soft cuff holds the sock up without pressing, and a fabric that absorbs moisture keeps the foot feeling drier in closed shoes all day.
How long do bamboo socks last?
It depends mostly on wear and washing. Wash at 40 degrees inside out, without softener or tumble dryer, and rotate many pairs, so the heel and toe wear more slowly.
