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.

Dammit, I kept forgetting to pick some up.

Damn, I've been singing their praises for years...but I haven't actually bought a new pair in ages

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.
