What clothing material do you prefer for a long or short sleeved shirt? It doesn't matter who you are, just as long as you wear or have ever worn a shirt, you can answer this poll.
I know there are lots more possibilities, but I didn't think they would be as common as what I did list. Therefore, I rely on "other" & hope you will be nice enough to tell me in a comment what the other answer is!

I happen to live for the Summer, which means lightweight breathable soft natural fabrics for me. Wrap me up in an Egyptian high thread count sheet, and I’m good to go. Most clothing I wear is cotton and linen. What I choose is lightweight and very breathable. For my T-shirts I look for combed cotton, preferably with tag free collars. Tags can be an annoyance. For going out on the town, be it lunch or dinner, you will find me in mostly linen, but some silk. Hear me when I say that this is not snobbery. If you try it, you will never go back. For suit attire, I will be wearing an Egyptian white cotton dress shirt, usually without an undershirt. The Egyptian cotton is so cool and comfortable on the skin. If I use an undershirt with a dress shirt, its sleeveless cotton . Fabric texture is a very important when choosing shirts. A manufacturer dictates the process techniques employed. So, not all fabric is created equal when deciding on what to wear.
I would like to cover some other important aspects when deciding what clothing to buy. Important to me are matters of health, environment, and social conscience. I have no interest in wearing cloths manufactured from the sweat and tears of workers who are treated no better than slave labor. Also a matter of importance to me is how that product was grown and produced. We have pesticides and other chemicals which we have banned in this country, but we legally sell to third world countries who make much of our clothing. So, health, environment, and social conscience awareness should be an important part when deciding what shirt to buy.
