Because we are human beings so need to wear socks ...... socks[edit this paragraph] History According to the ancient sources of evidence, the most primitive socks appeared in China during the Xia Dynasty. Han Fei Zi" book has a "King Wen Wang伐崇, to phoenix Huang (phoenix) market, socks system to unravel, because of the knot" record, refers to the king of Zhou Wen Wang tie socks band loose, their own hand tie socks belt plot. It can be seen that during this period, socks had already appeared among the upper class people in China, becoming a status symbol. During the two-week period, socks were made of cooked leather and cloth and silk, and the rich and noble people could wear silk socks. The socks were generally more than a foot high, with a band at the upper end, and the upper opening was tightened with a band when worn. The color is mostly white, but the socks worn during rituals are red. The finest socks were made of silk yarn and embroidered with flowers. During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was customary to take off shoes and socks when entering a house. In the house, more barefoot on the seat. This was not only the case for weekday banquets, but also for court meetings. It was a great honor to be able to go to the temple with a sword and feet, and only a few people, such as Xiao Xiang and Cao Cao, enjoyed such treatment during the Han Dynasty. (There is a special chapter on the following) In addition, from Changsha, Mawangdui one of the Western Han Dynasty tomb unearthed two pairs of silk clip socks, both using the whole silk cut and sewn and made, sewn on the top of the foot and the back side, the bottom of the seamless. The silk used for the top of the socks is thin, while the silk used for the inside of the socks is thicker. The stockings are open at the back of the barrel and have a garter attached to the opening, which is made of plain yarn. The number of socks for 23cm and 23.4cm, socks tube height 21cm and 22.5cm, head width 10CM and 8CM, mouth width 12.7CM and 12CM. it can be seen, China's sewing socks technology has been at least more than 2,000 years of history, much earlier than the European countries, so China is the ancestor of the socks deservedly. Ancient clothing is not like modern clothing, easy to wear, only need to fasten the buttons, it will be tight. In ancient times, the clothes are not sewn buttons, but with the belt sewn on the clothes to tie knots to tightly wrap the lapel. Not only were there bands for tops and pants, but also for socks and shoes. Ancient socks are not like today's socks, there is a special machine knitted, but by hand with cloth or silk or silk and other fabrics sewn together. Socks with bands were maintained from the Xia Dynasty until the Western Han Dynasty. The Han Book - Zhang Shizhi biography: "Wang Sheng old man, said: 'my socks unraveled', Gu said Shizhi: 'for me to knot the socks! The release of the kneeling and knot. Both have, people or let Wang Sheng said: 'only Naihe Yan insult Zhang Tingwei, make kneeling tie socks?'" Ancient socks were also not as popular as they are now. In ancient times, to be able to wear socks was the right of the rich and noble officials and eunuchs, where the poor common people could afford to wear socks made of cloth and silk. The Historical Records of China (史记-滑稽传)："Mr. Dong Guo was poor, his clothes were spacious, and his performance was incomplete. When he was walking in the snow, his socks had a top but no bottom, and his feet trampled on the ground. The people in the road laughed at him, and Mr. Dong Guo responded by saying, 'Who can perform in the snow?' People look at it, its on the track also, its track under the place is like a human foot." You see, back then, Mr. Dong Guo is such a representative of the shoes do not have a bottom, and no conditions to wear socks, so both feet on the snow, a toe prints are visible. Ancient people in the winter two bare feet into the shoes, how to spend the freezing months? This problem ancient people really do not have a better solution, fortunately, the ancients wore wider and longer clothes than now, down to the ground until, so even when walking feet are rarely exposed, the clothes actually play a role in covering up the cold. Think about the human hands in the winter is also exposed, there is no special measures to prevent cold, then the human feet and what qualifications must be higher than the treatment of the hands it. So the ancient people do not wear socks that is a logical thing. Cao Zhi had written in the "Luo Shen Fu": "Lingbo Weibu, Luo Stockings Dust", it must be in the Han Dynasty before there are socks made of satin. Since the latter Han Dynasty, the number of written records about socks has gradually increased. The Huainanzi - said Lin training "" Houhanshu - ritual Zhi "" class chapter "" Houhanshu - Li Zhong biography "" Cai Wenji biography "" State History Supplement "" Liwa biography "" Ling ghosts Zhi "" Songshu - ritual Zhi "" Record of events beads "" and other historical books on the socks are documented. [edit paragraph] William Lee's invention In 1589, a student at the British seminary--William Lee invented a machine for sewing socks by hand, which was six times faster than hand sewing, and this was the originator of the sewing machine. At the same time, ladies began to wear socks. Industrialized sock production began in 1860. The hosiery industry was looking for new materials to replace the scarce and expensive silk, and the production of blended yarns made the hosiery industry a great success. 1928, DuPont demonstrated the first pair of nylon hosiery, and at the same time, Bayer introduced polypropylene hosiery, and in 1940, tall nylon hosiery made an all-time high in the United States, and began to become a common everyday product. [edit]The birth of pantyhose In the 1960s, the ultra-short skirts designed by British designer Mary Quant Mary Quinn became popular all over the world. As skirts became shorter and shorter, thigh-high stockings were dwarfed, garters were discarded, socks and underwear became one, and pantyhose were born. The comfort and convenience of the pantyhose has endeared them to women all over the world to this day, and the style has endured. The history of human beings wearing socks has a long history, according to incomplete evidence, in China can be traced back to the era of the Yellow Emperor, to hemp kudzu wrapped feet, in the West, can probably be traced back to the 5th century BC when the Roman. [edit paragraph] Socks purchase 1, types Socks are one of the major categories of weft-knitted knitwear, with stockings, medium stockings, short stockings and pantyhose, etc. Women's stockings are worn until the end of the year. Women's stockings are worn up to the leg, with a length of 74-84 centimeters; medium stockings are worn below the knee, with a length of 42-45 centimeters for men and 38-40 centimeters for women; short stockings, also known as socks, are 17.5-23.5 centimeters long for men and 16.5-20 centimeters long for women. The weft knitting machines for stockings include circular knitting machine and flat knitting machine. The density of the leg of the stocking knitted by the circular knitting machine is thin and the elasticity is not enough; the flat knitting machine can make the number of stitches in the leg of the stocking more than the ankle, the density of the top and bottom of the stocking is even and the elasticity is the same, so that the stocking is comfortable to wear. The center stockings and short stockings are knitted with circular knitting machine. There are two ways to knit short stockings: one is to knit them directly on a circular sock machine; the other is to knit the ribbing of the stockings on a ribbing machine first, and then transfer them to a circular sock machine. Pantyhose, also known as ballet socks, are first knitted into stockings and pantyhose on a sock machine, and then sewn into pantyhose. According to the raw materials, there are cotton yarn socks, silk socks, wool socks, polyamide silk socks, polyamide silk elastic socks and various kinds of interwoven blended socks. Cotton yarn socks have poor fastness and abrasion resistance. Wool socks are generally knitted with double-stranded knitted velvet, which is warm and has good elasticity and moisture absorption. Silk socks are characterized by softness and smoothness, but the coils are easy to come off due to the smoothness of the silk. Nylon stockings and elastic nylon stockings have better strength and abrasion resistance, and elastic nylon stockings also have the advantages of fluffy, soft, elastic and good warmth. There are also some special-purpose socks, such as paddy socks and medical socks. Field socks are field labor protection products, with good performance of impermeability, heat insulation, cold resistance and smooth surface without mud. These socks are knitted with cotton yarns, reinforced with nylon filaments in easy-to-wear parts, and treated with a gummy solution composed of polyvinyl chloride resin, dioctyl benzene dicarboxylate, benzene monochloride, and dibutyltin laurate. Medical socks are knitted with elasticized nylon and rubber band yarns for patients with varicose veins, vasculitis, enlarged lymph nodes, etc., and are used as auxiliary medical treatment. Structure The stocking consists of 3 parts: the stocking mouth, the stocking system and the stocking foot. The foot consists of the heel, sole, back and head. The function of the stocking's mouth is to keep the edge of the stocking from falling apart and to keep it close to the leg. There are 5 main parameters of socks: sock number, sole length, total length, mouth length and heel height. The sock size is expressed by the sock number, which is based on the actual length of the sock sole, so you can buy socks that fit your feet once you know their length. However, socks come in different sock sizes depending on the material used. Among them, the elastic nylon socks have a difference of 2cm in length, while cotton yarn socks, nylon stockings, blended socks and other socks have a difference of 1cm in length. Quality can be summarized by six words: tight, loose, big, light, flush and clear, i.e. the stocking mouth and stocking system should be tight, the bottom of the stocking should be loose, the heel of the stocking should be big, the surface of the stocking should be smooth, the ribbing should be flush and free from crookedness, the stitching should be clear, and there should be no needles exposed in the pattern, the tip of the stocking and the heel of the stocking. 5, the specific choice of different wearers Sweaty feet should buy both breathable and moisture-absorbent cotton socks and wool socks, and feet dry cracked on the purchase of less moisture-absorbent polypropylene socks and nylon socks; short feet should be purchased and high-heeled shoes stockings of the same color, which visually produces a feeling of elongation, should not be purchased in big red, big green, and other brightly colored socks; feet stout best to buy dark brown, black, and other dark-colored stockings, and avoid light-colored stockings, in order to avoid the visual impact of light-colored stockings, so that they will not be in the visual effect of the color. Light-colored stockings, so as not to visually produce a foot more fat feeling; for women wearing high-heeled shoes, it is advisable to buy thin stockings to match the higher the heel, the thinner the socks should be. The socks you wear on the trail mean a lot to your backpacking life. Just like shoes, socks must be carefully selected to match the variety of situations you can expect. Consider the journey you envision Backpacker's socks are designed to be warm, soft, and durable in a variety of conditions. It's important to have the right socks for the various road conditions you're planning on and the weather you expect. You can select them according to some rough categories: Liners: Very thin, these socks made of thin, capillary material are designed to be worn against the foot. Liners keep your feet dry and comfortable by removing sweat from the top of your feet through capillary action. Liners can only be worn between the outer sock and the foot because they are abrasive, remember they are designed to be worn inside other socks Lightweight hiking socks: Designed for warm weather and leisurely journeys, lightweight hiking socks are designed to be thicker, warmer, and more durable than liners, with an emphasis on perspiration wicking and warm-weather comfort. They are thicker, warmer and more durable than liner socks. However, they are limited in thickness so they can only be used to keep you comfortable during hot weather travel. Most lightweight hiking socks are made of sweat-wicking material and it doesn't matter if you wear these socks with or without a liner. Midweight hiking socks: these socks are designed to provide reliable comfort and insulation in cold climates. They are thicker and warmer than lightweight hiking socks. Most are especially thick in areas that are prone to wear and tear like the heel and ball of the foot for maximum comfort. These socks should be worn with liners. Hiking Socks: Hiking socks are the thickest, warmest and softest of these socks. They are designed for long marches, difficult terrain and cold temperatures. Generally speaking, hiking socks are too thick and too hot for low-difficulty hiking in warmer climates. Consider the optional materials Wool - Wool is a very popular natural material for making socks. It is warm and soft, and retains heat when wet. Unfortunately wool socks don't dry easily and tend to itch on the feet (note: newer wool materials such as mohair don't have this problem). They can also be easily worn out if you don't add some other material. Blended wools (made of wool and synthetic materials) are very popular because they solve these problems. Synthetic Insulation - REI offers a number of synthetic materials that provide the same warmth as wool without some of the drawbacks of wool mentioned above. These materials [Hollofil(R), Thermax(R), Thermastat(R)] are slightly less warm than wool but are very soft on the feet. They are also easy to dry and hardwearing. This material can be used in a variety of different types and thicknesses of socks. Silk - a natural insulating material that is comfortable and lightweight but not as hard-wearing as other materials. It is sometimes used as a reliable wicking material for sock liners. Synthetic wicking materials - Synthetic wicking materials (such as polypropylene and Coolmax) are used in sock liners and are also woven into thicker hiking socks to improve their wicking properties. Cotton - Cotton socks are not recommended for hiking. Cotton socks absorb perspiration, dry slowly, do not keep your feet warm when wet, and can cause discomfort and blisters. Bottom Material - Many hiking socks are thickened in the heel, ball of the foot, and toe areas to increase comfort. This is accomplished by increasing the density of the weave in these areas or by adding materials such as acrylic. These specially thickened socks can save on socks during grueling trips on difficult surfaces. Support Material - Most of today's hiking socks incorporate a small amount of stretchable nylon or lycra material that allows the sock to retain its original shape and tightness, allowing for minimal wrinkling on the sock. Try them on If possible, put on the type of socks you're considering and take a few quick steps to feel the fabric on the bottom of them to confirm the size of the socks - your socks need to fit. A balled up sock material will certainly not make any backpacking trip comfortable. Open Categories: Clothing, Fashion, Lifestyle, Stuff
