What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Wool — Naturally temperature-regulating, odor-resistant, and moisture-wicking. Wool fibers bounce back to shape and can last years — making it ideal for garments worn frequently.
·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
·Organic — Same durability as conventional counterparts, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Longevity & Care

Wool — Hand wash cold or dry clean. Avoid high heat — wool can felt and shrink. Store folded with cedar to prevent moths.

·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.

Sustainability

·Wool — Renewable and biodegradable. Wool is one of the most sustainable natural fibers — it decomposes in soil and requires no synthetic inputs when responsibly sourced.
·Organic — Grown without synthetic chemicals, reducing soil and water contamination. Better for farmers, ecosystems, and the people wearing the finished product.

Cost Per Use

·Wool — A wool garment worn twice a week for 5 years can cost as little as $0.15 per wear. Wool's natural odor resistance means fewer washes, extending its life further.
·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1 years — and falls to roughly 21¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
