Fabric feel: Soft, breathable, and comfortable against the skin—doesn’t trap heat like synthetics.
Weave types:
1. Poplin – smooth, lightweight, slight sheen.
2. Oxford – slightly textured, durable, casual.
3. Twill – diagonal ribbing, soft, resists wrinkles.
Thread count: Typically 80–120 for good quality; higher means smoother but not always better for breathability.
Shrinkage: May shrink 3–5% on first wash unless pre-shrunk (labeled “combed cotton” or “pre-shrunk”).
Care: Machine wash warm, tumble dry low or line dry to avoid stiffness and reduce wrinkles.
Eco note: Organic cotton avoids pesticides; regular cotton is water-intensive but biodegradable.
