I'm curious how you make socks last for 10+ years?
I have around 25 pairs of socks, rotate them, wear socks daily and have to retire them after around two years, because they start getting holes. Never had problems with the nylon band though.

You can easily stitch up "toe-holes" and tears on the vertical can be patched with other socks. I draw the line at holes on the sole though, they never quite feel the same so I toss those into the use-as-scrap pile.
