Olympic Overedgers - 39500s
for Hosiery

With the speed for the Sprints, endurance for the Marathon and the versatility for the Decathlon, Union Special® 39500 Series hosiery machines are ready for any competition.

Union Special 39500 machines are the premier choice for manufacturers of socks, hosiery, panty hose, leotards—all types of legwear. For toe closing, gusset sewing and similar operations, these high speed, long lasting machines produce a strong but flexible overedge stitch and seam that is unduplicated by other equipment.  The unique curved needle design, combined with patented looper motions and smooth adjustable thread controls, leave the competition in the dust.
