On a joggers it keeps a clean, even line from shoulder to hem, the hand most tops are graded on.

Cut long, a medium-weight cloth falls in a clean column and needs a deep hem to hang straight.

It is neither warm nor cool, so it works across most of the year.

Care is simple: a machine wash at 30 to 40 °C.

It creases moderately and can shrink by a few percent unless the cloth was pre-shrunk, so ask the mill whether it was.

Cotton is a plant fibre spun into everything from fine poplin to heavy canvas. It breathes, absorbs moisture and softens with each wash, which is why it is the default cloth for everyday clothing.

Long-staple cottons such as Egyptian or Pima give a smoother, stronger cloth; organic and recycled cottons are widely available at a premium.

It rarely needs a lining, though a light cotton is lined or faced when a pale color would show what is underneath.

Sew it with a universal 80/12 needle; flat-felled or overlocked seams both hold, and it presses well with steam.

It takes reactive dyes readily, so solid colors and prints both stay true after washing.

Its surface is matte, so it photographs evenly under flat light.
