Offbeat Socks FAQ
Offbeat Socks FAQ
Where are Offbeat Socks designed and made?
The Offbeat Sock Company® is proudly South Australian owned and operated. Our original Offbeat designs are created by our team, while our collaborations bring together original artwork and ideas from Offbeat and the brands, artists and creatives we work with.
Our socks are manufactured overseas by a trusted manufacturing partner. We worked closely with our manufacturer for more than 18 months, testing and refining everything from the material composition and fit to the stitching, colours and overall quality before landing on the Offbeat sock you know today.
That process led us to our signature composition of 80% premium combed cotton, 15% nylon and 5% spandex, carefully selected to deliver the comfort, durability and stretch we expect from every pair of Offbeat Socks.
While our socks are manufactured overseas, our original Offbeat designs are created by our team, from the initial concept through to the finished design. For collaborations, we work closely with our partners to bring their original artwork, brand and ideas to life in sock form. We remain closely involved with our manufacturing partner throughout production to ensure every product meets the quality standards we expect from the Offbeat name.
Are you an Australian company?
Absolutely. The Offbeat Sock Company® is proudly South Australian owned and operated.
From developing our original designs and collaborations to packing orders, attending markets, running pop-ups and everything else that happens behind the scenes, South Australia is home to Offbeat.
You can find us at events and pop-ups throughout the year, or shop the full Offbeat Sock range online.
What makes combed cotton different from regular cotton?
Combed cotton goes through an additional process that removes shorter fibres and impurities before the cotton is spun into yarn.
The result is a smoother, softer and more durable material with fewer loose fibres than regular cotton.
That's why we use premium combed cotton as the main ingredient in our socks. It's all part of creating socks that don't just look good, they feel good on your feet too.
What are Offbeat Socks made from?
Our socks are made from:
80% premium combed cotton
15% nylon
5% spandex
We spent more than 18 months working closely with our manufacturing partner to test and refine our composition, finding the balance of softness, durability, stretch and fit that we wanted from an Offbeat sock.
Are Offbeat Socks unisex?
Absolutely. Our designs are made for anyone who wants their sock drawer to have a little more personality.
Our adult socks are one size fits most. They're ideal for shoe sizes AUS 7.5–11.5 (US 8–12), with our premium composition of 80% combed cotton, 15% nylon and 5% spandex allowing a natural stretch up to AUS 13 (US 14).
Do you make kids' socks?
Yes. Selected Offbeat designs are available in kids' sizing, so smaller feet don't have to miss out on the fun.
Our kids' socks are designed to fit:
AUS 6–8 // US 7–9 // EU 23.5–25.5
They're generally suitable for kids aged around 3–6 years, with plenty of natural stretch for growing feet.
Do you offer custom socks and brand collaborations?
Offbeat collaborates with brands, businesses and organisations that want to create something a little different. We work with select partners to develop custom-designed socks that combine their brand, original artwork and ideas with the quality and creativity you'd expect from Offbeat.
Our team handles the process from design and development through to manufacturing and delivery. Whether we're working with your existing artwork or developing an idea together, we'll help turn your branding, colours and creative direction into socks people will actually want to wear.
Custom socks are perfect for corporate gifts, events, merchandise, promotions, giveaways and retail collaborations, or simply putting your brand somewhere a little more unexpected.
If your brand shares our passion for creativity, quality and a little bit of fun, let's make something worth putting your best foot forward for.

How should I wash and care for my Offbeat Socks?
A little love goes a long way.
To help keep your Offbeat Socks looking and feeling their best, we recommend:
- Wash at or below 40°C
- Turn socks inside out before washing
- Air dry where possible
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
For a little extra protection in the wash, pop them into an Offbeat Sock Wash Bag before throwing them in the machine.
Look after your socks and they'll have plenty more opportunities to Rock Out With Your Sock Out®.
