I hate cotton and generally go for at least a poly blend for this reason... also because cotton inevitably ends up with a weird texture and pilling. Unless it's high-end weave in a dress shirt or something I'll take a synthetic every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
- jwells89 3y agoThough there’s definitely differences in how cotton wears, I’m not sure there’s a strong correlation with what grade it is. I have a few pure cotton undershirts and tshirts I picked up at the equivalent of a dollar store for ¥100 a piece as a broke college student in Japan around a decade ago, and while they’re showing plenty of wear from having seen hundreds of workout hours and laundry cycles, they’re not exhibiting pilling or texture change at all.
- fallinghawks 3y agoThe only time I've seen pilling on cotton is when it's a cotton/poly blend. 100% cotton doesn't, or at least not in my experience of wearing cotton Ts (mostly 100, occasionally cotton/poly) for the past 10 years.
