We’re officially restarting sock manufacturing at Armadillo Woolery.

For those who don’t know us — we’re a firefighter-founded company focused on PFAS-Free / FR-Free Merino wool apparel built for first responders, military, tradesmen, and people who are hard on their gear.

Before we lock in future production runs, we wanted to ask the community directly:

What kind of socks do YOU actually want to see made?

Boot socks?
Hot weather socks?
Cold weather socks?
Compression socks?
Extra-heavy cushion?
No-slip station socks?
Long shift EMS/firehouse socks?

A lot of “performance” socks today are loaded with synthetics and chemical treatments. We’re trying to build something tougher, cleaner, and built for real-world use.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from firefighters, military, EMS, trades, hikers, runners, or anyone who destroys socks for a living.

Drop your ideas below. We’re listening.

Not here to win a popularity contest.

Most station uniforms still contain PFAS, flame retardants, and heavy metals.

Same stuff we’re actively trying to remove from the fireground… we’re still wearing for 24 hours straight.

We’ve been digging into this for years and finally pushing it into the spotlight.

Voting for Top 5 is live right now — if this issue matters to you, I could use the help.

If not, at least start asking what’s actually in your gear.
