All Cotton, Ten Dollars
A boxy checked shirt that is pure cotton at a price most labels reserve for plastic.
Uniqlo built this short-sleeve boxy shirt from 100 percent cotton, which is why it earns our top grade. No polyester, no elastane, nothing to soften the label and stiffen the feel over time. Cotton breathes, takes a checked print cleanly, and grows more comfortable with each wash. The part we keep returning to is the price: 9.9 dollars, roughly ten, for an all-cotton shirt. At that number most racks are full of polyester blends sold as easy-care. This is the honest fabric instead, and Uniqlo did not cut it.
Good to know
- The label lists both machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and dry clean, so you can launder it at home, but wash cold and skip high heat, since all-cotton can shrink.
- A boxy cut runs roomy through the body, worth keeping in mind if you want a closer fit.
- At about ten dollars for pure cotton, the value is hard to argue with: you are paying for real fabric, not a blend.
Why it earns an A
- 100% natural fiber (100% cotton) with no synthetics, elastane, or regenerated cellulose.
