I used to get black Wigwam work socks at Walmart... because they wer actually American made.... they then took inventory of ding dong (Chinese made) ones and that ended that. I found New Balance socks at Sears the ONLY American-made sock... well sure as shit, next think I know, they are being “Hechoed en Mexico”... It’s infuriating that this nation no longer has a producer economy... it’s just a culture of entitled consumers.

New Balance socks

I just read an article on "New Balance". 25% of their production is still in Maine - they're one of the state's biggest employers. Dunno which 25%, though.

Gold Toe socks are still made in the USA. Mostly in NC, I think. I wish that they fit me well.
