This article presents a comprehensive comparative study of the quality indicators of men's knitted hosiery products manufactured in different countries and identifies ways to improve their quality. The research objects included classic men's socks produced in Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Korea, and Uzbekistan. The main research methods involved determining wear resistance, air permeability, toxicity index, color fastness to washing, rubbing, and perspiration, as well as measuring the electrostatic field level of the products. The results demonstrated that Turkishmade socks exhibited the highest physical, mechanical, and hygienic properties, which can be explained by the dense knit structure and the use of high-quality natural fibers. Products from Uzbekistan and Korea showed lower performance in several parameters, while Kazakhstan and China achieved average results. The study highlighted the significant role of chemical, structural, and material factors in influencing the durability, comfort, and safety of knitted hosiery. Increasing the proportion of natural fibers, using environmentally friendly materials, improving knit patterns, and implementing modern production technologies were identified as key measures for quality enhancement. The findings also emphasized the importance of maintaining safety standards and minimizing harmful chemical additives to protect consumer health and the environment. Overall, the research provides practical recommendations for producing more durable, comfortable, hygienic, and eco-friendly knitted hosiery products, contributing to higher standards in the light industry sector.
