UNIQLO ?

always trying

Looking for some cheap cotton t's for pickleball this summer. Are the uniqlo graphic womens 100% cotton. At their prices I am wondering if they are 100% cotton or not. I could find nothing about fabric content for the graphic ones. If they have no spandex or such I want to order two or three. since I do not do sleevless I need all cotton to be cooler.

All the Uniqlo tees I have are 100% cotton. On the website, there's usually a tab near the product description that lists materials, as well as a link for sizing.

I have the ivory Keith Haring with the person holding up a metallic gold star. It is 60% cotton and 40% modal. I think 'modal' is rayon, but not certain.

Every Uniqlo women's graphic tee I've checked is 60% cotton, 40% modal. I'm sad, because I love the designs but I hate modal.

The men's graphic tees are usually all cotton (not always, but almost always) but they are too boxy on me.

Also, this season the plain Supima tees all have a bit of spandex. In the past they had one or two styles with no spandex.

@Greyscale, I'm just curious, why do you hate modal?

Huh, greyscale, that's so weird. I had to go check mine just to make sure. I've got two older UT shirts -- Les Toiles du Soleil, which is striped, and a Leo Lionni one -- both all cotton. And the new Lisa Larson one I just ordered says it's 100% cotton:

Oh, I also have a UT tunic-tee with birds on it from some Norwegian design collective, released 2016 -- that one's also all cotton.

Maybe I'm just lucky that my tastes overlap with their all-cotton releases... And yes, the Supima cotton layering tops do usually have about 5% spandex, but I'm okay with it. I wear them pretty form-fitting, as a first layer, so it's nice that the ribbing holds its shape well.

(I do wish the MoMA geometric scarves weren't polyester... that's my biggest gripe this season.)

Oh cool! I won't give up on them in general then. I think the Keith Haring ones all had modal, and the Sol LeWit ones do (sad because he's my favorite artist). Also, I might be confusing the SPRZ and UT tees.

I don't know, modal just feels too soft in my skin somehow, and it makes me sweat. I prefer smooth over soft. But it's a really individual thing. Their supima is great - I have some with spandex too, but I just really loved the drape of the pure cotton ones. Light and thin.

I just bought the Super Geometric SPRZ NY with the really fine lines, circles, squares and triangles. It's 60/40.

Not graffic T's but recently bought 2 IDLF T's and a basic 3/4 sleeve T that we're all 96% cotton and 4% Lycra. They are my first Uniqlo's, and I'm pretty happy with them.

FYI, I just bought some 100% cotton tees from Eddie Bauer. They're slim and fitted, not too sheer. They work perfectly for working around the house/barn. Right now they're $9.99:
