    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    Thanks, it's good to know at least there is an option. I'm going to look into it further.

    Oh no! Feel free to PM me. I also had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic a few years ago.

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    Yes, I can do that, however I am more interested in the broader context of truth in advertising. Just seems like it'd be really easy to slap on a 100% cotton label with the burden (burning) on the customer to prove it, ya know?

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    And if I ruined one of the shirts and was onto something, then what? I'm looking for something both conclusive and that would be presentable at the returns department. "You don't mind if I light this one shirt up, do you?" :rolleyes:

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    From what I've been reading even just the methods of growing it can have a huge impact. Ya know, let's say it IS a blend and not 100% cotton. How could a consumer prove it? I don't think there is a way. I looked online and all I saw were burn tests. I wonder if there is a lab of sorts...

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    Interesting... I was just googling this topic, and came across this interesting piece: http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/xw/t80402.htm "China has claimed compensation of 14.37 million US dollars for substandard cotton imported from other countries last year, the State Administration of Quality...

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    I recently purchased t-shirts (for sleeping in) from Kohl's (so yes, I know it's not top shelf quality). They are labeled 100% cotton. Yet, after one washing, they have pills and also came out of the dryer very static-y. I've never experienced this before with cotton that's not blended. I don't...

    Vintage Sleepwear

    I bought this great pair of new old stock Hanes cotton pajamas today! They are obviously for men, but I love grandpa style pjs. I only paid $6 for them, too! I'm guessing these are 50's or 60's. Normally I feel guilty if I wear new old stock and I keep it tucked away in my closet, but not...

    Pajama Jeans?!

    Well gee, I just read in the news that Nevada may have to ration adult diapers. Perhaps my idea isn't a bad one! :o http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35321478/ns/us_news-life/

    "Hollywood killed us all."

    For starters, I wasn't upper middle class; I was a scholarship kid from the wrong side of the tracks, yet I could relate to him. Also, the nature of being an adolescent is to be self-absorbed. As for Holden Caulfield being a template in the way you describe, I see that being attributed more to...

    "Hollywood killed us all."

    It's my favorite book, too. It helped me tremendously when I was 13 and surrounded by lots of phonies at my NYC prep school. :) I used to visit the Museum of Natural history alone but never felt lonely because Holden made it cool. There's more but that book by far, if anything, saved this young...
