Everyday Tees Poly Cotton Vs. 100% Cotton | American Made

2 Upvotes

When it comes to a shirt you wear every day, for just about everything. What do you prefer?

100% Cotton or a Poly Cotton Blend

We carry both in our American Made brand. Customers speak to both fabric contents but the most popular surprises me. We get a ton of comments about 100% Cotton Everyday Tees. So much you would think 100% cotton would be the overwhelming favorite when it comes to t-shirts.

What I think it is though, the reasons behind cotton carry more passion. Natural fibers, avoiding synthetics and microplastics, these are all reasons that have a higher level voice in comments and customer emails.

What's crazy is our Everyday Poly Cotton Tees outsell the 100% cotton versions 10:1, on an average day.

With that said, I'd be curious as to what you all prefer when it comes to a shirt you live in. Why, if you don't mind adding some context.

I Prefer Our Poly Cotton Blend American Made T-Shirts

Poly cotton just seems to hold its shape better. After a full day of wear, it's still tight on the arms, holds its mid section shape, and doesn't stretch out. If it's hot and I sweat outside while filming, the poly fibers dry quicker and the shirt doesn't stain with sweat like cotton would. Being an active guy, I want an active shirt, but not the 100% poly style. I do appreciate that natural softness of cotton but like the elements with poly.

So I'm moving and completely furnishing a new place. Any advice on where to find American-made dishes, pots/pans, and furniture?

Thanks!
