seems most of the t-shirt shops in n.o. sell mostly the blends, i grew up on 100% cotton, do most still prefer cotton? good places to shop for cool t's that are cotton?

Hand woven or imported from the French Alps? I know a guy that can hook you up with some Peruvian cotton but it will cost you extra.

Regular old Hanes and Fruit of the Loom are still 100% cotton. What do you mean "some cool t's"?

Synthetics dont retain the smell of urine, vomit and stale beer like cotton does. Easy decision for trashy Nola t shirt vendors.

Blend is more breathable and looks better too

Tri blend.

Will not wear a 100% cotton t-shirt. It’s baggy, itchy, boxy, and shrinks from L to XS in one wash.

I think it's a cotton blend but by far my favorite
t shirts.

I am not a fan of pure cotton. If I am out and about in 98 degree weather every day then it's cool, because it has a lot of pours, but I prefer blended.

Hanes has a an X-Temp or something that I think is a blend, but not too nylon-y and keeps you cool. I prefer all cotton in colder weater.

100% cotton means cheap T-shirt that will shrink and be given to goodwill in 3 years

Either 50/50 or 60/40 Cotton/Poly, or Triblend.

I still like Hanes Beefy-T. They are inexpensive to replace.

100% preshrunk, 6.1 oz heavyweight. made with ringspun cotton for added strength and softness.

Whatever southern tides t-shirts are made out of is pretty comfy.
