All things made from COTTON
I remember the slogan: Cotton, the fabric of our lives. It hasn't died and this morning I see there's a website with that name connected to Cotton Incorporated.My preference is garments made from cotton. I don't care that it distorts with repeated washings and I'll go along with cotton & rayon blends to control that.
I will admit to some perverse fascination to a Ban-Lon shirt I had in the 1960's that took on a weird smell when washed in bleach. Except for it's resistance to soak up perspiration that shirt got worn every week until the fabric started pilling and it was time to make it to the garbage. Had it been made in cotton, the shirt would have had another life as a rag when my brother and I worked on cars.
The connection about the alcohol and a machine that extracts seeds from cotton hasn't been established in my mind. but, I believe I can deal with that.

but no polyester in shorts, pants or shirts please !
Cotton isn't the most environmentally friendly fabric due to pesticide and water usage, but at least it's biodegradable.
Cotton is definitely one of my favourites to work with and wear.
Yes even clothing.
