How many decades should you keep socks? Asking for a friend. Who will tell me. Because I’m the one who keeps their socks through six presidencies. 🧦 ♾️

I wear them out rather quickly.

@chrisd They must have holes in them at this point, right? Or are you one of those people who buy a million pairs of the same sock and toss it whenever it gets a hole? I have questions.

All my socks are handknit besides my exercise socks and they last me a good 10 years or so before they get holes.

I keep my socks until they have a gap. And then it goes away, which is always earlier than I would like. But as I buy the same model in bulk, I only need to throw away the one with the hole in it. So, of course, you keep them until they have more holes than fabric ;-) // @starshaped

@starshaped I’ve exaggerated for humor but yes some of my pairs of socks are looking worse for wear on the soles.

@BinaryDigit okay good glad I’m not the only one. That being said I may need to buy new socks.

Christopher DeLuca

@V_ ooh right on! What brand if I may ask?

Chris Verbree

Not sure if you can get them. But I got UNISEX ESSENTIAL 8 PACK - Socken by s.Oliver, got 16 pair two years ago, and still have enough of them (I think around half - not sure).

Christopher DeLuca

@V_ Oooh, thank you!
