(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL will introduce the 19th Hole Collection – a line of premium, Made-in-the-USA dress socks for men and women – at the 2012 PGA Fall Expo, Booth #527, in Las Vegas, NV, August 20-22.
This latest innovation from the 169-year-old, family-owned American textile company – maker of the leading performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – consists of all-season styles that stay cool in the summer and insulate in the winter. Crafted from a proprietary blend of ultra-soft 18.5 micron Super-Fine Merino wool and performance fibers, they are available in solids, as well as striped and argyle patterns.
“Our reputation in the golf-lifestyle market is built on products that keep our customers’ feet feeling comfortable, relaxed and fresh,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “The 19th Hole Collection extends that same experience beyond the course into everyday life.”
Sleek and sophisticated, the fatigue-reducing socks feature a luxurious sheer feel and reinforced cushioning. Boasting superior moisture management, odor defense, durability and friction-resistance, each pair comes with a 100-percent blister-free guarantee. Retailing for $28/pair, specific colorways include:
• Solid: black, khaki, navy
• Argyle: black, khaki, navy
• Striped: pink/green, black/red, black/purple, black/green, navy/orange, navy/pink, navy/light blue

About KENTWOOL
Founded in 1843, KENTWOOL continues to be one of the nation’s longest-running, family-owned textile
companies. KENTWOOL is the only company in the western hemisphere – and one of 50 in the world – to receive the Usterized Quality Certification indicating the highest level of quality assurance in yarn production.
An avid golfer, KENTWOOL CEO Mark Kent had the idea to produce the “World’s Best Golf Sock” after standing in the 18th fairway of the BMW Nationwide Tour Pro-Am tending to blistered, bleeding feet instead of concentrating on the eagle opportunity guaranteeing him a spot in the final round.
Born from that moment is golf’s leading, premium merino wool golf sock. It enables golfers of all abilities to play their best while benefiting from abrasion and fatigue resistance, as well as KENTWOOL’s blister-free guarantee. KENTWOOL utilizes its nearly two-century-old heritage of superiority in textiles to create socks which draw upon wool’s natural and cool performance fibers for moisture management, sheer comfort and other performance-enhancing benefits.
KENTWOOL socks are worn in competition by scores of Tour stars worldwide including Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Jonathan Byrd, Ryann O’Toole, Peter Jacobsen, Duffy Waldorf, Brendon de Jonge, Tom Gillis, Jane Park, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Kristy McPherson, Shasta Averyhardt, Jenny Suh, Sarah Kemp, Jenny Gleason, Meaghan Francella and Jenny Hong.
Based in Greenville, SC, all KENTWOOL products are made in the USA.
