How is the price of hosiery determined?
As with any product, the price of hosiery, including socks, is a function of many variables, such as the cost of finishing raw materials, machinery, labor, style, packaging, distribution and marketing. Hosiery manufacturers offer products in a wide range of prices, from inexpensive lines to premium brands. The higher-priced brands can include more expensive and luxurious fibers, hand-finishing details, such as a boarded or pressed finish, or support – all of which can add to the price of the hosiery.
