But thank you Laura. I was still considering this tee and you saved me the trouble and expense (shipping fees apply here) of ordering it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855332 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 06:18:43 +0000 Laura G 1855332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It *was* expensive for a tee, but I imagined it would be a workhorse with all my new olive bottoms. Oh well.</p> <p>I went back to try it on and just couldn't--it feels like the thinnest, cheapest cotton/poly. I had never heard of the Stateside label before, and I won't try it again without seeing it in person first. </p> <p>Thanks all for the helpful feedback!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855318 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 03:21:04 +0000 Brooklyn 1855318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't buy it Laura. The pattern, style and colour really appeal to me, and the fact that it's cotton. But it's expensive for a tee so I would have expected it to feel soft right off the bat. I would return it.<br /> I think cotton often comes with a wash before wearing advice because of the risk of dye transferring to other clothing. My WHBM jacket came with that advice (and I took it). But washing did not affect the feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855314 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 03:05:53 +0000 Laura G 1855314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, this piece is definitely an outlier...pima cotton is heavenly soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855313 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 03:04:51 +0000 Deborah 1855313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience with Pima Cotton but I do have dress on it's way to me made from Pima Cotton, so I will be watching and learning from this thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855308 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 02:54:16 +0000 Laura G 1855308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question. I took it off instantly--will try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855264 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:01:42 +0000 Jenn 1855264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it’s Nordstrom, I think they’ll take a return even if you wash it. Do you like it otherwise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855250 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 00:21:54 +0000 Joyce B 1855250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience with that top but I would return it if it is scratchy. It already has a problem so why wash it and get stuck with it. The top is very pretty but I am sure you will find a better one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scratchy-pima-cotton-tee#post-1855244 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 00:10:37 +0000 Laura G 1855244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I ordered this tee from Nordstrom, who say it's made of "soft Supima cotton". It arrives, and the fabric is thin and scratchy. I'm about to send it back when I check the care label. </p> <p>It says "wash before wearing." Is that just general good advice, or do they mean there's something nasty on this fabric that will wash out, whereupon it will feel like actual pima cotton? And what if I remove the tags and wash it, only to discover it's still scratchy and now non-returnable? Any advice?</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> -- You collected this. If you bought it, I'd be interested to hear your experience.</p> </p>
