100% Cotton vs Cotton/Polyester Blends

[Becks]

Does anyone notice a difference in feel in cotton fabrics that have polyester blended into them? I know that polyester helps minimize shrinking, but isn't 100% cotton supposed to be better quality?

yeah i hate cheap 50% cotton and 50% polyester shirts, or even those 80%/20% blends. i only like 100% cotton ones, they feel MUCH better

polyester has a wicking property, it dries faster and keeps you drier.

For normal wear, cotton is great, for sports polyester all the way.

small percantage of polly is good, it all depeonds on your preference. I do like a little polly in my undershirts, but if there isn't 100% pima cotton all the way. I don't like the thicker stuff.
