When you work outdoors — in all weathers, on your feet all day — your gear has to work as hard as you do. You don’t have time for faff. You want socks that keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable from the first job to the last. That’s where Capricorn Mohair Socks come in.
Whether you're a builder, farmer, postie, landscaper, or in any trade that sees you outside day after day, our socks are designed to stand up to whatever the British weather (or terrain) throws at you. We're proud to offer some of the best socks for outdoor work — socks that last, perform, and feel great even on the longest shifts.
Why Outdoor Workers Trust Capricorn Mohair Socks
1. Warm Feet in Cold Weather – Naturally
Let’s face it — cold feet make hard work even harder. Our socks are made using mohair, a natural fibre from the Angora goat, which has remarkable insulating properties. Unlike ordinary wool or synthetic blends, mohair traps heat while letting your feet breathe. That means your feet stay warm but never clammy, even if you’re on your feet for 10 hours in freezing conditions.
Capricorn socks are the perfect warm socks for outdoor work, whether you're loading a van at 5am or lambing in the hills at sunrise.

2. Hardwearing for Tough Days on the Job
Let’s be honest — cheap socks don’t last. They wear thin, go baggy at the heel, and give up the ghost halfway through the season. Capricorn Mohair Socks are different. We blend strong mohair fibres with durable yarns and reinforce pressure points like heels and toes. They're designed to take a beating — without falling apart.
If you’re climbing scaffolding, standing on concrete, or trekking across wet fields, these socks won’t let you down. That’s why so many of our customers say they’ve finally found the best socks for builders, labourers, and those working outside all year round.
Many of the local builders to us wear our 'Yorkshire' socks as they are slightly longer - more here
3. No More Blisters or Soggy Socks
Mohair has another trick up its sleeve — it’s smooth and moisture-wicking. That means it reduces friction inside your boots and actively draws sweat away from your skin. No rubbing. No hotspots. No need to carry a spare pair of socks in your van “just in case”.
Many of our customers tell us they used to struggle with sore feet or blisters after long shifts. After switching to Capricorn, they’ve never looked back. Our socks are ideal for tradespeople on the move, or anyone who needs comfortable socks for outdoor work that last from dawn to dusk.

4. Made in the UK – Designed for British Conditions
We’re not just a sock brand — we’re a British manufacturing story. All Capricorn Mohair Socks are proudly made in Leicester, by a small team of skilled knitters using traditional techniques and modern quality control. We care deeply about our products, and it shows.
Our customers come back year after year — not just because our socks last, but because they feel the difference. Whether you’re posting through the wind and rain, repairing a fence line, or laying bricks on a frosty morning, you need socks that just get on with it. Capricorn delivers.
