We should start a new thread and discuss. I am sure it's worth the time & system resources.

It depends; what do you want to use it for?

I prefer cotton and silk, 100% cotton, which is on most of my clothes.

Just recently got some microfiber pants for golf. They're awsome... very light, cool, comfy, and are also stain shielded. No problems wiping down clubs on your cuffs.. they wash right out.

The only drawback is that you can't wash them with cotton or use fabric softner (so they come out of the dryier all static-ky).

Aside from that.. the Nike Dry-fit stuff is great too (cotton/polyester blend?).

Hemp and cotton. I've got several pairs of hemp pants and shirts, damned things won't wear out.

I like peach cotton, but it wrinkles a lot. (no, I am NOT gay). Lately, I have liked the wrinkle-free cotton shirts from Joseph A. Banks. About 50-60 dollars for a shirt, but it is a joy to wear and real easy to take care of. Each is worth 2-3 regular shirts so the price is justified.
