I'm wearing brand new socks right now. Feels great.
They don't even have to be new, a good pair of socks fresh out of the drier is the best IMO. I avoid wearing new socks unwashed because there can be all sorts of nasty shit on them from the factory, shipping, warehouse, etc. that I'd rather not have rubbing against my skin.
They're not made to eat, so who the hell knows what kind of chemicals they douse clothing in to keep them "fresh" and keep bugs out of them while they travel across the ocean in shipping containers. Agreed, wash the fuck out of them, first thing!
