Article shames cotton also. "It takes about 700 gallons of water to produce one cotton shirt. That's enough water for one person to drink at least eight cups per day for three-and-a-half years." My grief with the article is it hypes things and doesn't give very good context. It feels like it is cherry picking the worst examples. Research is already being done to grow cotton using less water. This is the sort of solution that works. 100% cotton is difficult to find and finding good quality 100% cotton shirts is even more difficult. For Jeans, the original Levi's 501 blues is 100% cotton denim, many of the new styles are blends.
