How much time is wasted sorting socks?

    The two on the right just look faded and worn. Are you saying all three are new?

      No, but upon closer inspection the right one is probably a more faded version of the left one.

      The middle is certainly different.

      But they seem to do this in other colors, where they have two slightly different versions.

        Yeah. I get min from Costco and I have a set that all the colors are slightly off the entire rest of my sets I’ve bought over time. Iirc they were manufactured in a different country

        I find the variation to be pretty common with all the branded socks so I just get the ones with bold colors that will be easy to sort. Even when I go all white or black I toss the old ones when I get a new package because there is nothing worse than being slightly different styles or one new and the other worn in.

        Mismatched feel is even worse than mismatched colors!
