I often buy cotton T-shirts, many of which are labelled as being "100% cotton". I have no reason to doubt that they are indeed 100% cotton, but what I have noticed is that the weight/thickness/heaviness of the cotton varies considerably from shirt to shirt. No doubt this is due to differences in the manufacturing process. That's fine, I'm not interested in why certain cotton shirts are thicker than others. My question is whether there is some kind of universal grading system for cotton, which measures its heaviness and can be used to differentiate between thicker and thinner shirts, for example. -- Viennese Waltz 07:56, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
This is rather humbling, but I have lost track of where the list of topic bans is. Can someone point me to it? Thank you. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 08:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
