Transparency
Many brands are made in China. While they shouldn't and often don't lie about the country of origin, they don't quite announce it from the roof top. Instead, they quietly leave a fine print on their labels, hoping that you won't ask more questions. Today, we are answering the question. Why are our yak down socks made in China?

Why Yak Wool is Warmer
Ever wonder why you can pile on layers of regular wool—but still get cold feet in winter? If you’ve ever worn “luxury” wool socks that left your toes chilly, you’re not alone.

Meet the Yak: Survivor of the Extreme Yaks live high on the Tibetan plateau, thriving in places most animals can't survive—altitudes above 3,000 meters and temperatures as low as −50°C (−58°F). Their long, shaggy coats aren't just for show. Each yak wears three specialized layers that protect it from fierce winds, snow, and dramatic thermal swings. The Three-Layer... Read more...
How Tibetans Live with Yaks
Pictured: a Tibetan Yak  Here’s how to expand “How Tibetans Live with Yaks”—making the article a richer, culturally respectful, and scientifically grounded introduction to yak fiber and its extraordinary sourcing methods. This version will clearly explain combing (not shearing), free-range raising, and why large-scale industrial farming isn’t feasible in Tibet. Living in Harmony with the Plateau High above sea level, the Tibetan plateau is unforgiving—frozen winters, scorching summers, little rainfall, and arid grasslands.
