Definitely not BIFL, but I use bamboo socks nowadays. Super comfy, soft, cool and dry quickly. However, they do wear out relatively quickly, hence not BIFL material.
The pollution and horrific chemical exposures (to workers) from the production of rayon is pretty nasty. I was excited about bamboo (natural! Biodegradable!) until I started reading about it. Very disappointing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon
Edit: bamboo “viscose” is just another name for rayon
Probably true, pretty much all clothing manufacturing is nasty, or at least specific components of them. Lots of shitry chemicals and colorings are used and without the appropriate safety measures lots of possible toxic exposures.
I should probably check where these socks are being made in, I think it’s EU but not actually sure.
