Clothes annoyance

[bunn]

A few weeks ago I bought 2 pairs of jeans (both the same size) and some random socks. After one wash, one pair of jeans is now large and flappy, and the other pair of jeans is skin tight. How are you supposed to know which will do what???

Also, some of the socks have turned out to be those annoying sorts of socks that are fine until you put on wellies, then they fall down and gather irritatingly about your toes. This is why I never have the nerve to do a Pellinor and buy hundreds of identical socks. With my luck I'd end up with hundreds of welly-droopers.

I thought all socks did that annoying thing with wellies! I didn't realise it was only certain sorts of socks. Is there a consistent difference in fabric or style between the annoying and non-annoying ones?

I haven't been able to determine what makes the difference, but I definitely have some socks that don't do it, so there must be *something*.
