I have been very disappointed to find that there haven't been 100% cotton tees anymore.  What happened?

I think the cost of a good 100 % cotton tee shirt got too much for them to make and sell. I don't like any of the new fabrics they've been coming up with for shirts. I still do like Perfect Jersey tee shirts, but that's all.

All cotton is more difficult to find. Mixed fibers and some people dont like spandex added. Denim and Co. was hit or miss. I bought a cotton  tee set that the neckline  sagged and fabric was thin. Inconsistent quality.

 

Personally I liked Issac's Pima cotton  tops for good wash, wear and durability.  They cost more but last longer. Another line no longer around.

I only buy Cotton Tops and especially in pajamas.  Why have Polyester in pajamas..  Too hot for me.  I have some Denim and Co. tops that you can bounce them off a wall there was so much Spandex in them.

Have you done a search for them?  I have found several on the site.

They keep presenting the 3 and they are not that great.  I have some and ok but not my favorite to grab.

I buy 100% cotton t shirts from Christopher and Banks.  They sell long, 3/4, and short sleeves and also sleeveless with v neck as well as turtle and crew neck versions. They are called Perfect T's.

 

I have over 100 of them in different colors and styles. I live in them.

 

I buy them on sale...always.  Right now they have some on sale for between $9 and $16 and there's free shipping for orders over $60.

 

You have to check to be sure of fabric content as they do sell cotton and poly shirts.  Their heathered colors are mixed with poly and they do pill a bit.

 

Their t shirts come in petite, misses and woman's sizes.

 

I wash in cold water and put in the dryer for about two minutes to warm them up, then put them on a flocked hanger to dry.  They don't shrink or fade.  I have some that are over 10 years old and they still look great.

I'm not a fan of 100% cotton and prefer a blend. I can find really nice ones for way less than D & C anyway.

I agree, @UpNorthGorgy! Isaac's pima is the best. I was just thinking that I would go online and see if there are any pima cotton pieces left. Thank you, @Carmie for the info about Christopher and Banks. I'll check them out.
