How to tell if a shirt is 100% cotton?
To tell if a shirt is 100% cotton, check the care label, feel the fabric, perform simple at-home tests like the burn test, and look for manufacturer certifications. Reputable brands and factories follow strict labeling and testing standards to guarantee fabric purity.
Does 90% of cotton shirts shrink?
Most cotton shirts, including those with 90% cotton, will shrink to some extent when washed and dried—typically 3–8% for pre-shrunk blends, and up to 10% or more for untreated cotton. Polyester or spandex blends reduce shrinkage, but even 90% cotton shirts require proper care to maintain their fit.
