Toes that move free, stay dry, and never rub. Each toe sits in its own soft alpaca sleeve — so there's no skin-on-skin friction, the real cause of blisters and hot spots between your toes — and your foot splays and grips the way it's meant to. Softer than cashmere, built for the trail and the everyday.
A sleeve for every toe — separates each toe to stop the skin-on-skin rubbing that causes blisters and hot spots, mile after mile
Natural toe splay — toes spread, move and grip independently for better balance, ground feel and a more natural stride
Dry between the toes — alpaca wicks moisture away from exactly where regular socks trap it, so feet stay fresh and odour-free
Warm without the bulk — alpaca's hollow fibre regulates temperature, keeping every toe warm in the cold without overheating
Secure, all-day fit — a ribbed cuff and elasticated arch lock the sock in place through runs, hikes and long days on your feet
Why a blend and not 100% alpaca? A toe sock asks a lot of a fibre — it has to shape around ten separate toes, hold that shape, wick sweat and survive real mileage. Alpaca brings the softness, warmth and moisture control; nylon adds the strength and abrasion resistance toes demand; acrylic keeps it soft and holds its shape; and spandex and elastic give the precise stretch that keeps every sleeve snug. Every fibre earns its place.

ZERO LANOLIN. ZERO ITCH.
Sheep's wool is coated in lanolin and needs heavy chemical processing to make it wearable. Alpaca never had it to begin with — naturally soft, straight off the animal.

6,000 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
High in the Andes, alpacas evolved a fibre built to survive extreme altitude and brutal temperature swings. That's not a sales pitch — it's 6,000 years of evolution doing the work for you.

FAQ
Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
Who owns Olive & Jet & where are the socks made?+−
Olive & Jet was founded by a young entrepreneur from New Zealand, inspired by two alpacas he met on a run near Dunedin — Olive and Jet. Their fleece sparked the idea for a brand built on the unmatched qualities of alpaca fibre: softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, and naturally sustainable. We started with socks — the simplest way to bring this incredible fibre into everyday life — but this is just the beginning. Partnering with world-class alpaca textile specialists in China, we're committed to making natural clothing the new standard. Stay tuned — there's much more to come. 👀
Where is your alpaca wool sourced?+−
Our alpaca wool is ethically sourced from South America, where alpacas roam freely across the highlands much like sheep do in New Zealand. This region is home to the most mature and established alpaca wool industry in the world. Alpacas are shorn just once a year, typically in spring — a completely humane process that is essential for their wellbeing, helping them avoid overheating in warmer months. The wool is then carefully cleaned, spun, and crafted into our premium socks. Unlike synthetic fibers, alpaca wool is a natural and sustainable material that offers outstanding warmth, breathability, and comfort.
Who are alpaca socks for?+−
Alpaca socks are for people who want one sock to do it all — from days on the trails to lazy Sundays.
We've taken the ultimate natural fibre, alpaca, and crafted a sock that's built for hardcore use — but soft enough for everyday lounging.
Thanks to alpaca's incredible temperature regulation, moisture-wicking power, and cloud-like softness, these are seriously the best everyday socks — tough enough for any outdoor adventure, soft enough for Sunday mornings.
Ideal for:
✔ Hikers & runners – Breathable, warm, and blister-fighting for all terrains and trails.
✔ Trade & outdoor workers – Durable comfort that holds up in boots and long days.
✔ Everyday wearers – Luxuriously soft, itch-free, and warmer than wool.
✔ Loungers & cold-foot haters – Your go-to for chilly mornings and cozy nights.
✔ Anyone with sensitive skin – No lanolin = no itch, just pure, silky comfort.
Whether you're off on a mission or kicking back at home — Alpaca socks are built for it.

Why is alpaca better than merino wool?+−
Alpaca socks outperform merino in key areas: they're warmer, softer, and more durable. Alpaca fibres are naturally water-resistant and wick moisture better, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in any condition. Plus, they're hypoallergenic and don't retain odors like merino wool. For the ultimate blend of luxury and practicality, alpaca socks are simply unbeatable.
Are you going to make more alpaca related products?+−
Olive & Jet launched late last year with our flagship alpaca socks, and we're just getting started! As our brand grows, we plan to expand into a full line of alpaca fibre products, offering the same quality and comfort across a variety of natural, sustainable items. Stay tuned—there's much more to come!
Can I return the socks if I don't like them?+−
Yes! We offer a 99-Day Try-On Guarantee. This means you have 99 days from the date of delivery to decide if they're right for you. You can try them on at home, but returns must be in original condition — we can't accept pairs that have had extended, multi-day wear. Please include your order number and name inside the return package so we can match it to your order.
To start a return or exchange (for example, if you ordered the wrong size), just contact us at angus@pacos.co and we'll guide you through the process.
