What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.
- ·Hand-woven textiles are denser and more durable than machine-woven equivalents. Each piece has unique character from slight variations in tension and pattern.
- ·Made by lemlem in United States.
Longevity & Care
- ·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
Sustainability
- ·lemlem is recognized for sustainable practices across their product line.
Cost Per Use
- ·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 $275 (midpoint of $150–$400 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 2.9 years — and falls to roughly 57¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
