I have so many work pieces that are synthetic (and probably best that they are synthetic as they are wrinkle-free, easy to pack, etc) but OH how I HATE static...
Good quality cotton pieces are really hard to find and have been for several years. The cost of cotton has gone up in the last decade which is why clothing manufacturers have leaned so heavily on synthetics woven into fabrics. The best cotton pieces I have are from 15-20 years ago. Some of my favorite tshirts are my old maternity tees! The cotton was thick and soft and very durable. I still find good cotton pieces at Lands End and Talbots but 100% cotton pieces are getting harder to find too. I don’t mind synthetics (love the stretch) but synthetic fibers hold smells more, I find. My teen boys have had to throw out several of their synthetic camping shirts because we just couldn’t wash the smell out even after a dozen washings. Natural fibers like cotton and wool release odors much better.
