American-Made Finds
One maker's story, the brands newly listed here, and a few US-made picks, every Thursday.
Fox River was founded in 1900 and makes the products listed here in Mount Airy, NC. The site lists 16 verified American-made Fox River products.
Osage closed, North Carolina took over
Fox River knitted socks in Osage, Iowa for 125 years. In August 2025 Nestor Hosiery, based in Mount Airy, North Carolina, bought the brand. The Osage plant closed and production moved to North Carolina. Fox River's site now says its socks are made at its North Carolina headquarters.
Socks bought before the sale may have been made in Osage. Either way, Fox River says "All of our socks are made in the United States of America," and that has held since 1900.
Knit here, yarn from more than one place
Fox River says its socks use "both US-sourced and imported yarns." The knitting is done in the US, but some of the fiber may not be American.
Its product pages do not carry an origin line for each sock, so the company-wide statement is the source for any single pair. That covers the full line, from the Wick Dry Outlander and wool thermal crews to the Primahike hiking socks and the Zermatt over-the-calf ski socks.
