I think the cotton fabric shirts will last as long as the cotton quilt shop fabric we use now....

Even men's 100% cotton shirts come in various 'thicknesses' - some have a "light hand" some have a "firm hand".

WHEN/IF I get around to making one (or 5 because I have enough shirts), I will try to keep the similar weight cottons together...because I can see/feel the big difference.
