PROFILE |
 |
The socks were clean and didn't have any holes, but the company was worn out. Ridgeview, which filed Chapter 11 in August 2000, made tough wool sport socks, heavy-weight casual socks, trouser socks, pantyhose, tights, and knee-highs. Its socks were sold through sporting goods and athletic footwear retailers under such licensed brands as Woolrich, New Balance, and Reebok. Its own brands of socks included Ridgeview, SportSox, Seneca, and Kidsox (for children). Sport sock and sportswear maker Gibor Sport Alpha Socks owned 80% of the company, which was founded in 1912 by president Hugh Gaither's great-grandfather. Great American Knitting Mills acquired most of Ridgeview's assets, as well as the trademark, in early 2001.
