Default Anyone know where to find a quality (100% cotton) uniform shirt?

I have been searching high and low trying to find a decent, non-synthetic pilot shirt. The best I've been able to find is about 60% cotton. I can't stand the crappie polyester ones (way too itchy and sweaty in warm wx), not to mention how they pill, and pick up dirt and stains. I'd love to find a good one, similar in quality to a decent dress shirt. Anyone know where to find such a thing? Do they even exist?

When I had a regular job I vastly preferred 100% cotton shirts...but I only wore them for one day, and didn't do any physical contortions which would wrinkle them. I think in the cockpit they would just get too wrinkled, too quickly.

Well, I only wear mine for one day anyway. Besides, it'd be worth it just to not sweat and just be generally more comfortable. Besides, the synthetics pick up dirt very easily.

Agreed, but expect to wait over a month to get the shirt after you order it

Agreed. I've been wearing them for a while now and will never go back. They are tapered which is nice too.

I've been using Landerwood shirts for a few years now, and have been nothing but impressed. I called them in advance and paid a visit to their office in Charlotte to pick them up in person (living there at the time). I didn't place an order until I got to the office, and they had everything in stock. Very nice guys too!
