I was the same way --- but the high-tech synthetics today are much better,
and cotton kills when wet. The modern synthetics breathe well and allow
evaporation, and once I shelled out for them, I will NEVER wear cotton in
the boat again. I don't even like 50/50 cotton/poly any more.


How about 70/30 poly-cotton? That's less than a third cotton...


I saw
some attractive duds in that mix the other day...


Ah, you'll have to check with the fashion magazines, then...

Useful stuff is becoming more attractive, but if you want to look
good, stay near the car or on shore, or rent a cabin.

Remember "...pretty is as pretty does...".

I'm thinking this
would dry out a lot quicker than pure cotton, anyway, yes?
