Abstract: A sock pair or glove pair is disclosed having a first and a second sock or glove and at least one snap fastener. Each snap fastener has a male part, a female part, and two securing parts. At least one snap fastener is a retaining snap fastener. Each sock or glove has a U-shaped fabric tab folded over the upper or wrist edge of the sock or glove. The tab is retained on the sock or the glove by the male or the female part and one of the securing parts of the retaining snap fastener. The retaining snap fastener is located at a fastener distance from the upper or wrist edge of the sock or glove. The fastener distance is at least the fastener width and may be up to 2.5 times the fastener width. At least one of the tabs has an indicia indicating the source of the sock or glove. The inner and outer distal edges of each tab preferably conform to the shape of the snap fastener holding the tab on. The glove or sock pair is comfortable, durable, and particularly suited for inexpensive mass production by machine.
