Frequently asked questions

  • half british™ is a London-based luxury essentials brand creating premium socks from alpaca and merino wool. Each pair is designed for understated comfort, timeless wear, and crafted with a focus on material quality and British refinement.
  • We work with world-class natural fibres, including alpaca and merino wool, selected for softness, warmth, breathability, and everyday durability.
  • Yes. Alpaca fibre is naturally warm while remaining breathable, making it ideal for cold days and comfortable indoor wear.
  • Alpaca fibre is warmer, softer, and more breathable than cotton. While cotton is lightweight and comfortable in warm conditions, it does not insulate well and tends to retain moisture when temperatures drop. Alpaca fibre has a natural structure that traps heat while allowing airflow, keeping feet warm without overheating. Cotton socks are best suited for short-term, warm-weather wear. Alpaca socks are better for cold climates, long wear, and everyday comfort, as they stay dry, regulate temperature, and maintain softness over time.
  • Our socks are crafted with a focus on British refinement and timeless design. Product pages include the most specific details on materials and manufacturing for each style.
  • UK Shipping is free on orders over £50.
