3. I'm a natural fiber snob

Plastic is cold in winter and hot in summer and I don't give a flying fornication about fashion.

Women's 100% cotton jeans are hard to find, but they're still out there. Cotton knit tops are easy to find and woven tops can be found at sellers who import from India. Some Indian cotton is so fine it feels like raw silk.

Men have more options, cotton jeans being produced for welders, especially. Cotton catches fire, they just slap it out with a gloved hand. Cotton + plastic leaves hot, melted plastic goo on their skin. Ditto cotton downscale shirts and undies.

I think the major exposure comes from cotton blend sheets, honestly. They never need ironing, but they're full of plastic. Hemp sheets aren't, for some reason, but they'll wrinkle. Doesn't matter, they flatten out after the first night.
