processing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhile labeled as 100% cotton, the fabric tends to feel stiff and has an unnatural texture.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver time, with repeated washing, the wrinkle resistance diminishes, leading to a loss in its long-lasting performance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhile 100% polyester is easy-care and resistant to wrinkles, it tends to have a sporty look and is less suitable for dress shirts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe fabric lacks the natural feel of cotton and may not provide the refined appearance expected in more formal
