Red Wine, Forest Green, Pale Pink, Army, and Off White are blended in a single yarn — producing a rich, complex earthy tone that reads as a warm heathered brown-red-green from a distance and reveals its five components up close.

Red Wine is the deep wine-red anchor: cool enough to provide depth, warm enough to sit naturally with earthy greens and browns. Forest Green is a warm, deep earthy green that reinforces the earthy register. Army is the muted khaki-green that sits between the two greens and the red, binding the blend into a coherent earthy mid-tone. Pale Pink is the lift — present enough to prevent the blend from reading as simply dark and heavy, subtle enough not to disrupt the autumnal warmth. Off White is the breath — the tone that keeps the overall mix from closing in on itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe result from a distance: a rich, complex warm-toned heathered sock in the brown-red-green register.

Supermelange blends five — in this case Red Wine, Forest Green, Pale Pink, Army, and Off White — producing a much richer, more complex result that changes character in different light conditions. The sock reads as a single warm earthy tone from a distance; up close and in varying light, the five component colours become separately visible in the knit structure. The complexity is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the Relax differ from the Fine Rib and Athletique Classique?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-a\"\u003eCompletely different construction, weight, and occasion. The Fine Rib (DS1006) is a 200-needle thin dress sock for leather shoes and formal contexts. The Athletique Classique (DS1528) is a 200-needle heavier crew sock for sneakers and casual visible-sock dressing. The Relax Heavy Rib (DS3800) is a 6–9 gauge chunky sock — coarser, thicker, and heavier — built for boots and the relaxed end of casual dressing. The 93% organic cotton content keeps it breathable despite the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-q\"\u003eIs \"Red Wine\" the same as Bordeaux in the Fine Rib range?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-a\"\u003eSimilar colour family, different name and exact tone. Bordeaux in the Fine Rib solid range is a deep cool wine-red — formal, precise, used as a dress sock accent. Red Wine in the Relax supermelange is a component tone in a five-way blend, contributing its dark wine warmth to the overall mix rather than standing alone. The effect is different: Bordeaux reads as a single precise formal colour; Red Wine is one voice in a chord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-q\"\u003eHow does this differ from the other warm Relax supermelange — the Old Gold \/ Navy \/ Irr \/ Hot Chocolate \/ Off White?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-a\"\u003eBoth are warm autumnal blends, but with different temperature profiles. The Old Gold \/ Navy \/ Irr \/ Hot Chocolate \/ Off White has gold as its dominant warm tone — producing a yellow-brown-blue earthy mix. This Red Wine \/ Forest Green \/ Pale Pink \/ Army \/ Off White blend has red-wine and forest green as its dominant tones — producing a darker, deeper, more emphatically red-green earthy mix. One is the gold autumn; this is the red-green autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-q\"\u003eCan women wear these socks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"dq-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the Relax Heavy Rib is unisex.
