It's Superfine !

First, apologies to those irritated by belt loops without a belt.

This was the morning of the first full day of my most recent business trip

and I had not yet finished dressing (the belt and jacket went on later).

I was at a conference where business attire meant

closed toe shoes and matching pieces to a suit.

One of two suits I purchased this year made its debut, along

with my favorite blouse of late and shoes put to the true test.

 

Since those horrible wool-eating moths got to one of my pant suits,

I had decided to give the superfine cotton a try.

Though cotton isn't top of mind for suit material, I went for it

thinking it might not be the first choice of those buggers.

 

I like the fabric. Very much.

It's weighty and has a nice hand and drape.

It's of 100% cotton and true to the words from the copywriter (from space),

there's a hint of stretch to it.

 

But! As can be expected from 100% cotton, it wrinkles.

Here's what the trousers looked like after

a very full day of conference activities.

I don't mind when natural material behaves like natural material.

Such as when I noticed quite a bit of wear on the leather soles

of these wonderful shoes. I'm certain 100% soft and delicious

leather is a big part of why they are tradeshow-tested comfortable. 

 

I will always prefer natural fibers to manmade.

So imagine my disappointment when I stalked and finally found

my size in another version of my beloved top

and learned the solid colored ones are of rayon, not silk.

 

With a pout, I deleted two of those from my cart.
