Fruit of the Loom HD Cotton T-Shirt for Men and for Women Short Sleeve Classic

first of all there were about 10 of these stuffed into a small bag resembling someone's garbage. very difficult to try to pry these out of the bag since they were just wrinkle up and thrown in there. after cutting through three of them, I was able to successfully pull them out and these feel so thin and the fabric is so rough. there is zero stretch as there used to be in the fruit of the loom shirts that my dad and brothers wore. I have a friend in England and he always wears Fruit of the Loom v-neck t-shirts and they always felt so soft on my face so I thought I would buy a bunch so I could wear them around the house and also have extras for him. if you take an old t-shirt or cleaning rag from the '60s or '70s and you hold it taut and you push your thumb up against it underneath you will see that the fabric will have some give and the fabric is soft and smooth with a little bit of fur radiating on the top with zero pill balls. my father always told me the most important factor of a cotton shirt %26 underwear is to absorb the body's sweat while allowing the skin to breathe. my first 6 months in Belgium, he was taking me every week to go shop for cotton underwear and t-shirts so I could wear them to bed versus my polyester laced panties and bras from Frederick's of hollywood. he showed me that if you place the item underneath the iron and if it melts or crinkles up that will be evident that it is not in fact cotton fabric. my father spent many years in Brazil in the textile industry and I started sewing at the age of 6 and became a seamstress sewing all kinds of items so I can tell you even if I am blindfolded what the fabric is composed of. cotton is a natural fiber and polyester, rayon, acetate is a synthetic fiber and therefore are not healthy to be worn on a daily basis. these shirts CLAIMING to be Fruit of the Loom are definitely not made of cotton. I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING WITH THE COMPANY CALLED GILDAN. In America, you will have to shop at the Goodwill in order to find soft, smooth cotton t-shirts. I believe this is the company/seller that shipped the items from Laguna Hills California and only the third digit was different from my own home address which kind of blew me away. the other 10 shirts came from Texas, in the same city where my brother moved to a few years ago. ☺️ so after I stuff these shirts back into these two different bags I will be processing the return and getting an Uber and taking them back to Walmart because Walmart does not do pick up on returns. a woman enduring 24 hours of menopause (continuous sweating) needs to be wearing a shirt that can absorb moisture.
