Burlington socks began in 1968 in Germany but it wasn't until 1977 that they became a big hitter in the field of socks, when they introduced 'Argyle' socks bearing the diamond check pattern which became an instant success. In 1985 Burlington add the clip logo to its argyle socks and is now the trademark and what distinguishes them from the crowd.
Throughout the 80s the Burlington socks proved to be very popular with the casuals and argyle socks became a compulsory item of clothing in any wardrobe.
