cotton-poly

Common shirt material

Cotton-poly is a fabric blend combining cotton and polyester fibers, offering the breathability of cotton with the durability and wrinkle resistance of polyester.

The term appears most often in clothing descriptions: a cotton-poly blend shirt, 60/40 cotton-poly.

The ratio varies, with higher cotton content feeling softer against skin.
