I also darn my socks! I buy Explorer but even they eventually wear...though they take ages as they're damn strong. The trick to a long life is to keep your nails trimmed. I'm from the school that a plant isn't dead until it's a stick. Likewise for clothes.

A friend uses bamboo socks and swears by them.
