DescriptionTraditional tabi socks. Seem to be of especially fine quality, made of white silk, lined with white cotton and a heavy white canvas sole. The socks are the traditional ones worn by the Japanese in the house; they are cut in such a way that the wearer may slip his foot into the Japanese shoe or getas (see E3483). The socks fasten with three mteal fasteners at the back of the ankle.On View
