A Question About Socks
How many times do you think you can wear a pair of socks before they wear out?

I was putting my laundry away today, and I realized that I have a lot of sock. I'm not sure how many, but maybe 50 or 60 pairs, maybe even more. They've accumulated over the years since you don't really outgrow socks.

So for discussion purposes, let's assume that I own 52 pairs of socks and wear them equally. That means that each pair of socks is worn 7 times per year.

Given my age, I can probably expect to live another 33 years or so. If I never buy another pair of socks, that would mean that I'm going to wear each pair of socks 231 times.

Ignoring their current wear and tear, is 231 times feasible for a pair of socks? How long do they last? I honestly have no idea. Is it 50? 100? 200? 500?

Honestly, 231 seems like a lot since socks get wear and tear, and of course my socks aren't all brand new. I suspect that my sock buying days are not over, but I don't know what's reasonable in terms of sock life spans. What do you think?

Dress socks are a different beast. Shoe/weather dictate the type of sock.

I do laundry every week, so I could get by with less. But I don't like too many choices, so black or white, all ankle socks.

When I was transitioning from boxers to boxer briefs, I just tossed them and replenished.

I bought several pairs of black socks around 10 years ago. I estimate that I have worn each pair around 200 times since then and they have a lot of wear left in them. 300 to 500 is the correct answer.
