It can take a pair of socks made from synthetic materials like polyester hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in a landfill. However, socks made from natural materials like cotton or wool can decompose in a much shorter time frame, usually within a few months to a few years.

It can take a sock made of natural fibers like cotton or wool around 1-5 years to decompose in a landfill, while synthetic socks made of materials like nylon or polyester can take much longer, even hundreds of years. Recycling or repurposing old socks can help reduce environmental impact.

It can take anywhere from 20 to 200 years for a jacket made from synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon to decompose in a landfill. Natural materials like wool or cotton may decompose more quickly, depending on environmental conditions.
Your answer depends on the environment where the clothes have remained since 1942. If in a landfill, decay would be quicker than in an environmentally controlled museum exhibit, for example.
Wool socks can take around 1-5 years to fully break down in a landfill, as wool is a natural material that decomposes relatively slowly. However, if composted in appropriate conditions, wool socks can break down within a few months to a year.
Wool socks, like all wool clothing will shrink when washed. However due to the blended wool it is unlikely that wool socks will shrink much.
Clothes can take anywhere from a few months to hundreds of years to decompose in the environment, depending on the material they are made of. Natural fibers like cotton and wool decompose faster than synthetic materials like polyester and nylon.
The differences between wool sock and regular cotton socks are the ability to absorb moisture and cost. Wool socks absorb more moisture but cost more. Cotton sock don't absorb moisture as well as wool socks but are cheaper.
