Cotton Dress Shirt Fabric

When it comes to dress shirts, it’s certainly no secret that cotton is the most popular dress shirt fabric of choice. It has been so popular for so long because it’s a natural fiber that is cost-efficient to produce. It also has the ultimate benefits of being both breathable and comfortable for custom men’s dress shirts. It has a cool feeling against the skin which also adds to the fact it doesn’t result in excessive perspiration, a great thing for most guys.

Natural cotton is also sometimes mixed with synthetic fibers such as polyester, not because it is necessarily cheaper, but rather because one hundred percent men’s cotton dress shirts tend to wrinkle easier and polyester cotton dress shirts are wrinkle resistant. You often find yourself having to spend more time ironing it in the mornings with full cotton dress shirts, and then once you get to work, it’s already started to crease. The risk of combining cotton with synthetic fabrics is although it may wrinkle less, it doesn’t breathe as well, and also it doesn’t hold its color and brightness as well either.
