Mind the thick loop pile socks of years ago ?
I bought eight pairs of knee length ones in Millets over twenty years ago. I wore them, I worked in them, they got every kind of hard wear, and they still wash up, are still in almost perfect condition, didn't even go bobbly. The most comfortable socks I own. One pair fitted without needing to be doubled up in boots.
I wish I knew where they'd sourced them because I'd buy more of these for folks as presents.
I think I paid £1.95 a pair for them back then. OD, Navy Blue, Red and fawn Khaki.
Worth every penny.
Surprising the stuff that turned up in Millets, I got brilliant ski gloves in there too, and they cost me a quarter of the price of going to Tiso's.
