Pima T-shirt
Es difícil encontrar una camiseta que quede bien en cuanto a tallaje (el largo perfecto, las mangas, etc..) y además con la calidad del algodón y el acabado que tienen. Sin duda volveré a pedir. Todo un acierto
Veremos con el tiempo, pero se aprecia la calidad, suavidad, construcción y gramaje.
De calidad y queda muy bien.La única pega que le pondría es q podía ser un poco más larga.
Me encanta, esperando que vuelva a estar en venta en color burdeos
Excelentes en todo. Deseando que lleguen las blancas de nuevo.
Why is cotton better than polyester?
Although synthetic fabrics such as polyester may have their advantages over cotton, for a person who needs everyday clothing, cotton is clearly superior.
Let's start with the advantages of polyester over cotton. The main and almost only advantage of it is that it does not absorb moisture, so, if you need a waterproof t-shirt, polyester is a good option.
However, although cotton does absorb moisture, it breathes much better. With a polyester t-shirt, you will most likely end up sweating sooner or later, which is why they put holes in sports t-shirts. And if you are looking for a t-shirt that you can wear with jeans or chinos, it better not look like a sports t-shirt.
Another very important characteristic of cotton is that it is hypoallergenic, that is, it does not cause allergies. Polyester is a product derived from petroleum, in itself, it is not good to carry and use plastics. But there are also people whose skin is irritated or allergic over time. Cotton, being natural, takes much better care of the skin.
Lastly, cotton is much more pleasant to the touch, both you when you put on the shirt, and anyone who touches your shirt ;) will be a caress, especially if the cotton is extra long fiber.
Breathable
Cotton allows the body to breathe. Thanks to this, it produces fewer bad odors and is more versatile.
Natural
Cotton is the flower of a plant, while polyester is a petroleum product. For this reason, polyester can cause allergies and irritation, while cotton cannot.
Pleasant
Touching a 100% cotton t-shirt is a much more pleasant experience than a polyester one. And even more so if it is Pima cotton. Anyone who experiences the sensation of having a cotton t-shirt on their body never goes back to polyester.
What cotton is best for a t-shirt?
We can think that, as long as the t-shirt is made of cotton, it is fine. But, although cotton is obviously better than polyester or any other synthetic, not all cotton is the same. Which is the best of all?
The number 1 position in the ranking of best cotton goes to Pima cotton. If you don't know it, we are going to give you a short presentation of its advantages.
Pima cotton comes from Peru, more specifically from the north of the country, the Piura Valley, whose land and climate give this cotton special characteristics that make it the finest cotton in the world.
Unlike standard cotton, whose fibers have a length of between 20 to 32 mm, Pima cotton is between 38 to 41 mm. As you can see, the fibers of Pima cotton are extra long. And what does this translate into in practice?
On the one hand, due to the extra-long fibers, Pima cotton is much stronger than regular cotton. For this reason, a Pima cotton t-shirt will last much longer than one that is not. This quality can be perceived just by touching it. And, despite being more resistant, it is more pleasant to the touch and in contact with the body.
