There is more than just one type of cotton, there is cheap cotton, good cotton/Pima cotton, Egyptian Cotton Asiatic Cotton, American Upland cotton. Pima and Egyptian being the premium cottons, then there are different weaves of cotton fabrics and if you have a 'non-iron' dress shirt, it is treated with formaldehyde. Polyester is a cheap material made from petroleum.

It also doesn't breathe well at all. Cotton does and cotton gets softer the more it's worn and washed.

I have found that 60% cotton 40% polyester has the best fit and longevity for dad bods. 100% cotton loses its shape after 5 minutes. And triblends are too short and shrink even further after being washed

Good idea, but quite lousy "wear feel" test. Proper test should have included wearing the shirts for a few hours in different conditions, for example go walk in sunny weather sun to sweat a bit and see how it dissipates moisture or sit in a chilly room and see how much the shirt worms you up.

@Gigabomber 4 жыл бұрын

nah. everyone knows 100 percent polyester doesn't feel like your are walking around in a plastic bag the second you start sweating.

This is not a good comparison because the Bella Canvas triblend is a lot more expensive than the others (I don't know about the A4). Some 50/50 shirts are soft and others are really scratchy; the bella canvas 50/50 is softer and a hair more expensive than their cotton shirt.

Which one will last longer? Does the polycotton blend end up with more pilling? What happens when the synthetic fiber rubs against the organic fiber? The organic fiber is going to pill, no?

@K9River 11 ай бұрын

Your comment is 2 years old, but want to reply anyway. I use a polyester, microfiber camping type towel to dry off from the shower every day. They started to stink despite using Tide and changing out a towel every 3 days. The smell became so bad that the smell transferred to my hair when I dried off. I began washing them with the whites, which are bleached. It took about 3 washes to completely eliminate the odor, but now no smell. The color stayed, too.

I love to wear polyester shirts, over time after washing and drying cotton shirts start to loose their shape and look old and faded, polyester retains its new look for a longer period of time. Also it doesn't feel as hot as cotton, I tried riding my motorcycle with both and cotton absorbs sweat like a bitch.

What about a fire test? If you start on fire when having a nap for example. Would it be better to burn in a cotton shirt? will this be in your dangerous damage test? I would think the plastic shirt would melt in to my skin and keep burning deeper? Please set your test tees on fire for science

@ss8512 2 жыл бұрын

Polyester no Brainer for me. It keeps its shape if you sweat. I can't stand other blends cause the neck always stretches and looks sloppy. The only downside to polyester is it's shiny.

I can say without even watch the video, 100% cotton is the only way to go. Better for the skin and for the planet! The problem when ordering online is that you don't know if it's thin or thicker cotton. The thin ones tend to deform easily.

@cdm9011 7 ай бұрын

Polyester is a plastic bag, it’s not really a fabric. Polyester dries quick because it’s not actually getting wet. The water is just on it. Cotton is absorbent. So your choices are to put a plastic garbage bag on your body and let all the moisture off your skin get stuck under it, or go with cotton where it will absorb the moisture and allow it to evaporate away. Synthetics are the clothing industries scam to sell us cheap crap and make it seem like we are getting something good. The only shirt in your list that should be worn is the cotton one. It’s the only one that will wick moisture, won’t trap sweat and toxins all over your body, and won’t be found 12,000 years from now in the ocean.
