Beatles Socks | Beatles memorabilia

What do you do on that cold morning when you are wondering how to stay warm for the day? For starters, slip into your Beatles Socks, and you'll have that warm, FAB-fuzzy feeling all day!

The decorative crew socks were white, all-cotton-stretched nylon—precisely the style that every young person seemed to wear in PE class. Printed at the top of the socks were black and red stripes. Below this was a 1½" square design brandishing black-and-white headshots of each of the Beatles and the text "The Beatles" in the center.

Additional identification was printed on the sole/foot of the sock in red ink, and of course, four Beatle faces: "The Beatles—Cushion Crew—Top: 100% Premium Cotton

Foot: 75% Cotton—25% Stretch Nylon

Stretches to Fit Size 8-11 (or 10-13)

Official Beatles Socks

Made Exclusively For SELTAEB, Inc

WPL 18148"

The socks came in a clear plastic package with a cardboard insert card that displayed black and white photos of each Beatle and were usually priced at $1 per pair. The socks were advertised as either boys' or girls' Beatles socks. Stores said they would "stretch to fit sizes 8-11 or 10-13." Some had girls' sizes 8-11 and boys' sizes 7-13 or 8-11.

Maro Industries Inc., 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, was the manufacturer of the Beatles' socks (licensed from NEMS via Seltaeb in spring 1964). Maro Industries, a hosiery mill, was a subsidiary of Spartans Industries Incorporated. They were named in a NEMS Enterprises, Ltd. vs. Seltaeb, Incorporated lawsuit filed in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, First Judicial Department, dated New York, New York, July 6, 1965.
