Most people who rely on quality cotton clothes for work or play are buying Carhartt, and the quality hunting/outdoor wear and forgoing dept store clothes.
I'm not surprised... corporations are squeezing everything out of us that they can... I am going to look into "scrubs"... I dont particularly care about being stylish and it may look like I just got off work... LOL... and best of all they look sooooo comfortable and have adjustable tie waists.
The scrubs I have do not have the tie waists but elastic. I love them though and have several pair. Since mine are a poly blend they require little or no ironing, which I totally hate. The 1 thing I really dislike about quilting is the pressing, but that is a necessity. Guess this all stems from ironing all of those shirts for DH and 5 boys.
