Project Description

A common feature of crew socks is that they usually reach the middle of the calf. The tops of these socks usually contain some form of elasticity, so they are very elastic. This also helps to hold them in place, which is why they are often worn during athletics or exercise.
The bottom of a pair of sailor socks is usually smooth and soft, with a slight stretch.  This part is usually made of cotton because it absorbs sweat and keeps the feet warm and dry, especially in hot weather.
Cotton is often used to make these sports socks, but other materials can also be used. Some of these materials include nylon, wool or polyester. Spandex may be used for the top of socks and combined with other materials used for shoe soles.
People of all ages wear crew socks. There are pairs designed for men, women, children, and infants. While the various types often look similar, there may be slight variations between them. Some of the differences are the amount of stretchiness in the leg portion, as well as designs or logos placed on them. The length of the socks also varies from one type to the next.
