A couple of washes done by my missus tends to reduce brilliant whites to eggy eccrus.
Muji do a good pair, quite thick, cotton / mixed.

If you have any Wigwam 625's I'd be interested in hearing how they compare.
Was gonna take a punt on a few pairs myself, they look less textured than the wigwam but a very similar shape.
They are in the post to me so I can report back soon
However, I don't own any Wigwam's so can't offer any comparison.
So the 'gentle-top' would be a little thinner compared to the Wigwam 625, right?
Similar thickness but I think the best way to describe it less stretchy weave if that makes any sense.
I get my Wigwam 625s at Saperstein's in Millerton, N.Y.
They start off creamy and by the time I'm done they've changed to the highly coveted "Dingy Gym" shade of beige.
