Cotton vs Polyester T-Shirts
Cotton vs polyester for everyday tees — breathability, heat, feel, and why Plain Thread sticks to 100% combed cotton.
Polyester can look sharp and dry quickly. Cotton breathes differently — and for all-day wear in Indian weather, that difference matters.
Cotton
Natural fibre. Softer hand-feel when combed well. Better airflow for many people across a full day.
Polyester
Strong and wrinkle-resistant, but often warmer and less pleasant against skin for long wear.
The Plain Thread choice
We use 100% combed cotton at 220 GSM — no polyester blend to fake structure. Structure comes from density and cut instead.
