Mostly wool because while warm in the winter it's comfortable in the summer, especially when it's thread count exceeds 100.
I do where 100% cotton shirts however. Never ever polyester.
It's wearing an oil byproduct on you. |
I always find wool itchy. However I agree about the cotton. But oil, after all, is only a compressed primeval forest, its made from hydrocarbons, the same derivatives of which we are made.
But whenever I am travelling outback I always carry a dress shirt made from 'microfibre'. I am not sure what it is composed of, but you can screw it up and pack it into a cigarette box, then take it out and put it on and it hasn't got a crease in it. Famous people have asked me for the name of my tailor ...
Out there the temperatures reach 50 C and for most of the summer its over 40 C. Yet the microfibre does not make you sweat, and at night when the temperatures can plummet you do not field cold.
Have you ever heard of it?
(sorry if I'm a bit off track Antonio )
