About Osan

The name behind the brands

Since being granted licences for socks and underwear for Pringle of Scotland (in 1993), Jeff Banks (2000) and Glenmuir (2013), Osan has forged ahead in the UK and it has now become one of the leading suppliers and distributors of wholesale socks and underwear to some of the foremost retailers in the UK and worldwide.

In 2016, Osan and its sister company SOCKSHOP joined forces and introduced their own brand to the market – SOCKSHOP WildFeet – helping Osan to continue paving its way in the industry.

In 2021 Osan started a new exciting chapter with the launch of TORE – the world’s first 100% recycled sock – pushing ourselves to make a sock that was even better in quality than the current production lines.
