I’m a dress socks guy, but yes, I have some old socks that were comfortable, the elasticity was perfect. New socks are either stiff, shitty elastic, bad material. I cannot find good ones anywhere, besides one brand in particular. I used to go to express or men’s wearhouse and they had great socks (and boxers), and it’s like those are t a thing anymore.
I use Tesco workman’s socks (I imagine UK only) and step one underwear - really good, but have been advertising recently, so I don’t know if they are enshiterfying.
I get kirky boxer briefs and I’m very much satisfied with them. Unfortunately I just went to Costco yesterday, and the odds I remember your suggestion the next time I go are incredibly slim, but maybe I will!
I know that struggle well. 5 years from now you’ll remember the tip at a time and a Costco when you can finally use it…only to discover they’ve been discontinued mere months prior.
Has the quality of the socks decreased? My last set of those was awful. (Switched to Tesco’s workman’s socks, last forever)
Anecdotally, every article of Hanes clothing I have ever worn has been of remarkably poor quality.
Can confirm – i have the same socks and they fucking suck. They started wearing through in like 3 or 4 months. Trying out some Duluth socks.

Boxers from Costco, the 32° COOL brand or whatever, do not disappoint.
