Customer Reviews:
  1. Doesn't attract lint!
    This shirt fits like it was made for me! I wonder if they use fit models. I love the tailored look of a nice shirt but they rarely fit over my bust. This one does and it doesn't attact lint and fur like most black shirts. It looks really great with faded jeans and black boots. I like the 3/4...
  2. Boxy and Frumpy
    If you want to look frumpy, buy this shirt. There are no darts whatsoever to even suggest a tailored shirt. I also was disappointed in the tail-it has a slight curve but it bells out at the sides-not attractive. The sleeves are too long and too wide at the bottom. The fabric is not soft or...

Why would a 100% cotton T-shirt have a manufacturers care label stating not to use fabric softener?

they just want to cover their backs. apparently loads of retailers are unnecessarily putting on labels saying 'dry clean only' for an item that doesn't really need to be for this reason.

Is Viscose the Way to a Greener Future? : TreeHugger

The New York Times reports on the eco-issue of "fast clothes" and today's practically disposable clothing. This phenomenon of buying cheap clothes that only last a season or two, as Rosenthal reports, is pioneered by stores like H&M;, Old Navy and Target, to name but a few. "In many places, cheap, readily disposable clothes have displaced hand-me-downs as a mainstay of dressing." The article covers the Cambridge University Institute of Manufacturing study led by Dr. Julian Allwood entitled, "Well Dressed? The present and future sustainability of clothing and textiles in the United Kingdom." In addition to pages of interesting information on the topic, the study carried out LCAs on a cotton t-shirt and a viscose blouse.

The results for the t-shirt and blouse are interesting, if not surprising for some, and the report's suggestions for impact reduction are definitely worth sharing. Bottom line — the LCAs conclude that cotton clothing are actually more energy intensive than viscose due to their care requirements during the use phase.The study assumes that cotton shirts are washed at 60ºC (140ºF) compared to only 40ºC (104ºF) for the viscose. As well, it is assumed that cotton T's are tumble dried and later ironed, whereas viscose can be hang dried and there is no need for ironing. On one hand this is a fair assumption, on the other hand it made me think that perhaps I am laundering my cotton clothes incorrectly! I wash my cotton clothing at 40ºC or less, I never tumble dry (since I don't own a dryer) and I never ever iron (don't own one either). Perhaps all this time I have been running around dirty and nobody had the heart to tell me? The study shows that 60% of the energy use for the cotton T comes from its care, while for the viscose blouse only 14% of the energy use comes cleaning. Other interesting results are that the purchase of "a 250g cotton T-shirt implies purchasing 1,700g of fossil fuel, depositing 450g of waste to landfill and emitting 4kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. These figures are largely driven by the energy required to launder and dry the T-shirt during its life cycle."
