Socks were once made with cotton/polyester blends that last maybe 4 or 8 times longer. Notice that to increase market, clothing manufacturers promoted 100% cotton as superior? Only thing that changes - socks wear out faster. What those domestic cost controller did not realize - they set themselves up to be replaced by Chinese products.
