The sockology centre

We appreciate the trust placed in us and we take our responsibilities seriously and all orders are treated with the same dedication to ensure each is creative, innovative and unique, with our quality standards and service level guaranteed throughout.

Our designers, embroidery and knitting technicians (our Sockologists) produce bespoke CAD sock, packaging artwork and samples, and our account managers work directly with your buying team to create an efficient and transparent, innovative relationship.

“We have complete control over the entire manufacturing process from understanding the importance of raw materials allowing us to offer yarn and technical fibre recommendations, to sealed sample supply and product testing.”

Sarah Barnes, Senior Sockologist/Designer.

Exceptio is proud to manufacture socks that consistently exceed customer expectations, delivering on quality and innovation with every pair produced.

This process starts with our innovative 3D sock designs. Skilfully crafted, our renders revolutionise the design process, allowing customers to view their bespoke designs, which are accurate for logo placement, colour, and pattern. This initial layer of presentation removes any design ambiguity, enables swift decision-making, and excites and gives confidence to move to the next stage.

Our Sockology 360° artwork  interactive platform-

  • brings bespoke designs to life, and provides an incredibly detailed and realistic representation of the product
  • gives customers a deeper insight into how their designs will look once produced, helping them make more informed decisions
  • allows 3D rotatable designs which can be viewed accurately and at every angle to check all details
  • displays designs in the yarn shades that will be used for manufacture, guaranteeing colours are represented accurately
  • only permits designs that are viable to produce, ensuring that every design created is one we can bring to life

Our entire team delivers a focused and responsive service for customers, with this software providing an extra layer of confidence. Our 3D renders are fully aligned with our manufacturing capabilities and enhance efficiency without sacrificing efficacy. They significantly accelerate the speed of our design-to-production timeline with consistency and accuracy, avoiding misunderstandings and complementing the further approval stages from artwork production through to stitch definition, knitting pattern creation, and close Pantone yarn matching, ensuring precision in each phase of every design. We are proud to combine our heritage of expertise with innovation as we seamlessly weave together style, comfort, and our dedication to client designs.
