Before you buy your next white tee: flip it over and read the composition label.

100% cotton = breathable and soft, but will shrink and lose shape over time.

Pima or Supima cotton = same softness, significantly more durable.

A cotton/poly blend = holds its shape better after washing.

Tri-blend (cotton + poly + rayon) = the broken-in vintage feel you've been chasing.

This one habit changed how I shop for basics. The full t-shirt breakdown, and my FAVORITE tee I’d wear the rest of my life if I had to, is now up on Side Note.
