I honestly doubt I have anything 100% cotton.   I have been migrating towards UPF clothing these days.  Some of which might have come from the Caribbean (just to keep the thread on track).  🙂

 

I used to be the director of a nonprofit organization that held an annual rummage sale. The person who ran it for years wouldn't allow any clothing that contained even a molecule of synthetic material; everything had to be 100% natural.

Interesting.   I would have thought having synthetics in a rummage sale would be good because if they are not donated they end up in the landfill.

Yes. This was an organization with affluent members and the person thought that the rummage sale had a reputation for selling only top-quality clothing. (The actual reputation was for checking donations carefully for damage, and displaying them well.)
