Same! Though I did just buy a sun sweater made of modal (beech tree rayon) that seems really nice, although it's technically synthetic fabric because of all the processing. Waiting for it to dry before I actually try it on, but I really liked how it felt in my hands.
One outlier is a really old polo sweater that has this really smooth liner that I'm quite certain is entirely polyester but made with really thick strands weaved together. I don't wash it much which is probably why it's more than a decade old now and still in one piece.
Other then those two items everything is cotton. I find levis are the sturdiest and sometimes comfiest jeans if you get the baggier versions.
Watch out on those Levi’s. Many of their product lines are a blend of denim and spandex, which makes them feel and fit great.
Unfortunately it also means their durability goes to shit because one of those materials is not elastic. Being blended means the fabric will just fall apart, you can’t repair them.
Yeah, I have to read the hecking fine print on every piece of clothing I buy just to make sure it's not going to create pollution. It's a pia and unfortunately necessary, but worth it.
