I think you need to have a conversation with the mirror about just exactly what is the correct size for you, ma'am.


If you can find an affordable shirt that keeps its size after a few washes lmk

Been replaced by rebranded polyester as "moisture wicking".

I'll take cotton.

It’s cause we’re all fat dad bods and need the polyester percentage to fit over our guts and huge lats.

Am I missing something? Cotton has a lot of pours right? In the winter, when it gets really cold you can tell the difference between something that has a lot of cotton in it and something that doesn't because the mostly cotton doesn't keep you as warm.

The new stuff is called moisture wicking. LOL.

I’ll take cotton or at least a cotton blend every time.

Cotton is warmer than all other common clothing materials in winter except for wool

Wool, Down, Fleece/Polyester and Acrylic are all warmer than cotton, the only thing lighter than cotton is linen.
