Icebreaker used to be made in New Zealand (as was Swanndri), they are all now made in China. I still wear some of my New Zealand made ones, and they keep on going, even through the washing machine.

it-manWas curious about when this occurred so went and found this on wikipedia "It commenced trials to move production to China in 2003 and delivered first product from offshore manufacture in early 2004. Icebreaker then used a phased approach over the following 2–3 years to ensure impact on NZ manufacturing was minimal. Socks are all manufactured in the USA".

Harry56Hi there, that would be about right. I am not 100% sure about all socks manufactured in the USA. I remember all farmers here in NZ would have their "swannies" (Swanndri) and they were not happy at all when manufacturing stopped. Whenever I go to opshops here, I look for the NZ made ones, which still can be found.
