    Something that has taken me far to long to realize is that for me at least, I stink far far far less when wearing natural fabrics.

    A polyester t-shirt can have me reek if I sweat the slightest bit in like an hour. But 100% natural fabrics like cotton, wool, or linen are way better for making me not stink.

      I’ve noticed this as well. Even a cotton poly blend will be noticably stickier by the end of the day. In the winter, if I don’t do anything too exerting or slop food down the front of it, I can get a couple of days out of a good cotton shirt.

      I recently got a job where I have to wear this awful poly button down, and the thing gets so stinky so fast. Just one of the reasons I hate that shirt.

      I hate unnatural plastics because when I use them in the dryer i swear they smell like burning plastic.
