I am never brand loyal, as I have mentioned many times before. For me, it comes down to price most of the time, although as I have also said there are a few exceptions.
Nonetheless, Fruit of the Loom socks have been a fair mainstay for me because they essentially did the trick and were always cheaper when I compared prices for other brands.
Over the years I have noticed the socks have become thinner and thinner, which wasn't necessarily an issue until now. They have become so thin that they just don't last that long at all anymore, with the heels mostly wearing out and getting holes after a few wears.
It's simply no longer economical to buy the Fruit of the Loom socks anymore, and so I will be making a switch. Sorry Fruit of the Loom, but you've lost my business.

You should get your hooves trimmed. Then your socks would last longer. I have Fruit of the Loom undies.

I have only known T shirts of that brand. And my experience with the brand is that they are inexpensive but do not last long.

Something similar to “shrinkflation,” I guess, “quality-flation.”

I believe a lot of companies are stretching their dollars and manufacturing less qualitative stuff,

May I recommend 32 Degrees socks? I have bought 2 dozen pair recently and they're very good quality, not too thick, not too thin, with like moisture-wicking or something that's good for when I work out to keep them dry.
