cheap cotton men's apparel, menswear

[manarak]

I wonder if anyone knows where to buy cheap cotton socks and underwear?

I have recently visited H&M at terminal 21 in Bangkok, they had what I'm looking for, but it was kind of expensive.

3 underwear were 499 baht and 10 pairs of socks (or was it 5?) also 499 baht.

I remember visiting C&A in Switzerland some time ago and they had 5 underwear for 350 baht and 10 socks for the same price of 350 baht.

I think C&A has no shops in Thailand, and BigC or Tesco are no alternative since their products contain too much polyester, I'm looking for 100% or 95% cotton.

does anyone know an alternative?

You obviously have no idea of the usual price levels in Switzerland.

Everything there is considerably more expensive than anywhere else, except consumer electronics, so I expected to find cotton underwear at 40 baht a piece and socks at 20 baht a pair in Thailand, but not so. I might have to add socks and underwear to the currently very short list of things I don't get screwed over when buying them in Switzerland.

I think those days are long gone ,

Just the other month was in Australia and bought jeans for $7=200 baht.

Try to buy jeans in Thailand for 200 baht.

Bought tshirts $5=130/140baht size xl, in Thailand 190baht and up.

Next time you're in Switzerland try the Migros supermarkets. They do good quality stuff too.

OP,

You should contact TVF member RolandRat. I am led to believe that RR is tied up in the Bonds Cotton company, they do underware, socks, singlets etc.

I recall Roland speaking about that somewhere else where he offered TVF members discount or something like.

Drop Roland a PM. I'm sure it was Roland.

You are correct it was Roland. He is big in the cotton world.

I thought I was right. I was also under the impression that Roland sometimes sells cheap seconds and factory rejects at JJ on alternate weekends. I hope the little rats got his ducks in a row.
