As someone who's always hot (and as someone concerned about micro-plastics), the widespread use of polyester in clothes is something I loathe. If I'm lucky, I'll find 100% cotton in my price range. Still looking for some quality linen, I hear that's the best for hot days. Would love to try it someday, if I can ever find it.

I don't shop for clothes online - it's nearly impossible to ensure sizing is accurate, and the place I live isn't a good location to have boxes sitting outside all day.

I have never seen a linen shirt in my life 🫤 I would have to buy it from Amazon or a specialty online store probably

Linen starts at like banana Republic type stores. That price point.

Shopping isn't really convenient for me where/how I live, so I just do aggressively mediocre sewing repairs. That often don't even last because polyester (and I didn't use backing). Just using binder clips on the waistband of pajama shorts I got as gifts years ago.

You can find 100% cotton in Walmart sometimes.

Get your linen in the winter on clearance.
