I know that UK has some pretty good local sock manufactures and also the funky colorful sock designs such as by Paul Smith and Ted Baker. I am not looking to pay Â£15/pair socks however am wondering if there are any decent UK sock manufactures.

Thanks!

Pantherella are the best. You can buy them at Turnbull and Asser.

We carry both Penrose and Corgi at Shrine.

You can check out some of the styles on our website, shrinestyle.com or I can post some pictures if you are interested.

Penrose are great for dress socks. Extremely soft and tons of colors and patterns and Corgis are one of our favorites, however they are a bit warmer and don't offer OTC.
