Why Alpha Wear Clothing Only Uses 100% Cotton

At Alpha Wear Clothing, we prioritize health, quality, comfort, and sustainability. That’s why we are committed to using only 100% cotton for our tee shirts. Here’s why we believe this is the best choice for our customers and the environment.

Healthier Option

Recent studies have raised concerns about synthetic fabrics and their potential to disrupt hormones. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, posing health risks. Here are some statistics and facts on how alternative clothing materials can disrupt hormones:

• Chemical Exposure: Studies have shown that synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and acrylic can contain and release endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as phthalates, bisphenols, and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). For example, a study published in Environmental Science & Technology found that up to 85% of synthetic textiles tested contained measurable levels of EDCs .

• Absorption through Skin: Research indicates that chemicals in clothing can be absorbed through the skin. A study by the Swedish Chemicals Agency found that chemicals used in textile manufacturing can migrate into the skin, and some of these chemicals are known endocrine disruptors.

• Impact on Health: According to a review by the Endocrine Society, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals is linked to numerous health issues, including reproductive disorders, metabolic syndrome, and cancers. This highlights the potential risk of wearing clothing treated with or containing such chemicals .

• Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of synthetic fabrics contribute to environmental pollution, introducing EDCs into the ecosystem. A report by the European Environment Agency noted that microplastics from synthetic clothing are a significant source of marine pollution, and these microplastics can carry EDCs that affect wildlife and potentially enter the human food chain .

Superior Breathability

One of the standout benefits of 100% cotton is its breathability. According to a study by Cotton Incorporated, 78% of people prefer the breathability of cotton over synthetic fabrics. This natural fiber allows air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable, whether you’re working out, lounging at home, or out for the day.

Unmatched Comfort

Comfort is crucial when it comes to everyday wear, and cotton excels in this area. Consumer surveys by Cotton Incorporated show that 60% of respondents choose cotton clothing primarily for its comfort. Its soft, smooth texture feels great against the skin, making it perfect for all-day wear.

Hypoallergenic Properties

For those with sensitive skin, 100% cotton is a game-changer. Studies indicate that 85% of dermatologists recommend cotton for people with sensitive skin due to its hypoallergenic properties. Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton is less likely to cause skin irritations or allergic reactions.

Excellent Moisture Absorption

Cotton’s ability to absorb moisture efficiently is another significant advantage. This natural fiber can absorb up to 27 times its weight in water, helping to keep you dry and comfortable even during intense physical activity.

Durability You Can Count On

When it comes to durability, cotton doesn’t disappoint. Research shows that 100% cotton garments can last up to 50 washes without significant degradation, compared to blends that may degrade after 30 washes. This longevity makes cotton tees a wise investment.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Cotton is a natural, biodegradable fiber, making it an environmentally friendly option. It decomposes within 1 to 5 months, whereas synthetic materials like polyester can take up to 200 years to break down. Choosing cotton helps reduce long-term environmental impact.

Versatility and Style

Cotton’s versatility is unmatched, contributing to its 40% share of the global textile market. It’s suitable for various climates and styles, ensuring that our tees are perfect for any occasion, whether casual or formal.

Static Resistance

Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton doesn’t conduct electricity, reducing the chance of static cling. This is a small but significant comfort that 70% of consumers appreciate in their clothing.

Easy Maintenance

Practicality is key in daily wear, and 75% of people find cotton easier to wash and care for compared to synthetic fabrics. Cotton tees require less special laundering, saving you time and effort.

Cotton is grown in over 80 countries, providing a sustainable and renewable resource. At Alpha Wear Clothing, we are committed to sourcing our cotton responsibly, ensuring that our products are not only good for you but also for the planet.
