Aka “larger sample size provides different results”

Not in this case, I found a recent thread where people posted a side by side of an old product with the new one.

The cotton/polyester split used to be 75/25, now it’s 55/45…

I’ve noticed it with Darn Tough socks. Used to be mostly Merino wool, now it’s over 50% nylon. My last pair literally smelled like plastic for a week.

I replaced my Red Wing Iron Rangers a couple months ago and quality took a shit. Maybe I just got a bad pair. Terrible to hear about the socks. I should have bought more years ago.

The hive mind / group think stuff on Reddit is strong. I had a friend doing a section of the PCT and he was saying literally everyone had the same setups from socks to water filters.

That kind of uniformity isn’t good for anyone.

It’s a moving target these days though

In this case, it is likely the company was bought out by venture capital who cut costs and quality to suck the brand dry between the first and second thread.

That’s not really the case, everything is lower quality now on average.

It makes me want to make more of my own stuff. Sewing isn’t terribly hard for basic patterns and machines are relatively cheap

Absolutely, be the change you want to see in this world. Your clothes will last longer as well. Better quality fabric by the bolt and also you’ll know how to tailor them if your body shape changes.
