Class system of Cotton

So that's why? My 1980s cotton USC college football sweatshirt still has zero pilling — I just throw it in the washer/dryer. Meanwhile, my new expensive NHL sweatshirt pilled within a year, even with careful washing! *Caveat: Original purchase of 1980s sweatshirt was cheap. 🤔

Exactly! Quality vs …..

Cotton doesn’t pill. Material made with a combination of cotton and polyester pills.

I was fascinated by the information...that was really well presented. This is getting a Repost, a Like and a Bookmark. Thanks

Interesting; thanks for the info.

I thought it was interesting too 👚

Very interesting! Thanks for the info. Other things to consider though— Not many places will specify in the tag what kind of cotton was used; Also, the law of diminishing return. At what point is it “worth” it? That’s an individual decision.

Which is why we pay double for long fiber and live it. That we get gaslit for a $200 shirt that is worth $25 is the issue.

It’s like when 1000 thread cotton initially came out it was incredibly soft and light. Then years later is thicker and not as silky to the touch. I usually find Pima or Egyptian my go to and if I could afford organic I’d do it for my sheets.

Very interesting and informative. So, what is Mercerized?

And where does original Pima rank?

Fascinating. Thank you.

Let’s be real though. I’ve had those $200 shirts that are made with the crap cotton. Nordstrom doesn’t exactly do a good job with their online descriptions that says what kind of cotton they use.

Fascinating! I had no idea. This was interesting enough to hold me all the way until the end
