What advice do you have for finding good clothing that is 100% cotton? I.e. stuff that isnt crossed with polyester.
My own findings:
1. you have to go light, heavy cotton is living hell to wear in spring/summer
2. shop from asian and middle eastern online markets for clothes that are authentic
3. avoid crew-necks. They almost never have enough room for your neck.
Anything else? Pic related is a shirt Im currently looking at trying. I blanked out some info so it wont appear that Im shilling.

there's nothing wrong with polyester if you're buying something that's decent quality. it's how it's used/made, not simply what it's made of

I am literally allergic to polyester, unfortunately.

also, polyester doesn't decay. Everytime you wash it, microscopic poly fibers get into the water and pollute ground water and back into our tap water, as well as bodies of water (rivers, seas, oceans) and end up in sea food, and back in us people.
We're literally eating plastic from our own clothes.

good point. not to mention the only advantage polyester clothing has over cotton is sweat-wicking. yet most athletes go shirtless anyways.
If obese people were eradicated everybody woul go back to wearing cotton (polyester is often used because its more flattering on fat people than cotton)

Direct polyester allergies aren't a thing; it might be an allergy to some of the chemical treatments used in making them. Have you tried different brands and blends?

There are plenty of sports where athletes don't just go shirtless. Also, what about underclothes and pants or shorts? Socks?

a jockstrap is usually enough although sometimes athletes WILL use polyester compression shorts because it helps the muscles contract.
most lifters runner and cylists though theres no disadvantage to going shirtless or commando

> Direct polyester allergies aren't a thing
I don't know the specifics but there are lots of different allergies towards synthetic fabrics and plastics. Myself, my skin is unfortunately fucked genetically and polyester basically acts like a lot of small knives that irritate my skin (eczema).
