I wish I had a personal assistant to find socks for me. I accidentally got someone else's socks once, and they are the best motherfucking socks I've ever owned. There's no writing on them so I can't buy more.

"Accidentally" strolling around in someone else's footwear.

A likely story.

I go to Sam's once every 2 years and buy 2 packages of black socks. Throw away all the worn ones I have so I have consistency. It's simple, it's inexpensive, and it works. Now any time laundry is done if you see a pile of my socks, grab 2 and you always have a match.

It's no accident when I slide those magnificent bastards around my toes. I work offshore. They do your laundry every day. Every once in a while they get clothes mixed up. Depending on the person doing it, I'm talking once every other month on average. One time they put someone elses socks in my bag on the day I was leaving, and I never check my clothes closely on that day. Just shove the entire bag into my bag and go. I go to different platforms so I don't know where these came from. I take them offshore with me every time hoping someone will see them and go "Those are my socks" and be able to tell me where to buy more.

I try to do that but I have had trouble finding the exact same sock every time over the 30 years I've been doing that. Even when I do, they are in different states of wear and I have to keep the wear levels equal.

I will look into them. On first glance, they look like they could commit a hate crime against bonobo socks. Which ones do you use?

This is why I toss all existing socks when I do a "sock refresh". Buy two packages (which usually means either 16 or 24 pairs of socks, which is plenty) and they all match in style, form, and wear level since they're all new when I buy them.

Yeah, anytime I buy new socks it's two packages and I throw out all my old socks...I also make sure to get a style no one else in the house wears (Not a problem any more but when my two sons both lived at home I made sure we all had different style socks).

I had a problem with this as well, which has sometimes caused me to go to a 2 year sock cycle. Basically, once I see the first few I have to toss due to holes/threadbare I know the rest are at over 90% done, so no longer "perfectly good". Add in the mental streamlining I gain for not needing to spend as much in mental cycles on "sock management", and it's a net win for me. And this is a low cost if I want to think of it as "socks as a service" being that the Sam's socks are good, and also cheap.

OTOH, my underwear protocol I opt for the "spend more now, extend life" option. That's Duluth Trading bare naked boxers for me. I used to do the same process with boxers I did with socks. Then Mrs. Haus Mrs. Haus bought me some Duluth boxers. I shit you not the first pair I had to throw out was because of elastic giving out some, and they were well over 10 years old, fabric still perfectly good, just elastic giving out. So I spent the extra money (watching to catch them on sale of course because I'm a cheap ass bastard). $15-20 a pair for boxers seems insane to "Haus in his 20's", but it ends up breaking down to $1.50-$2 per year per pair. These things last so long that if I buy a pair now there's a better than zero chance they will be the boxers I die of old age in.
