was sold to Gildan of Montreal. They now own Gold Toe. My 1985 Gold Toe acrylic fuzzies are soft and luxurious. Yes, I still have a few new ones! Now I can hardly find the acrylic and when I do, they are $7 a pair and half as thick!

There are Gildan cotton blends. At Walmart. 2 years ago I bought one package to try them - less than 3 bucks. They are ok. Now I can't find them. Not sure if the 6 pack for $9 is the same, I think not.

And they tell us life is good. No. It's deteriorating as we speak.
