    And I can’t stand how it feels. Cotton feels sweaty all the time and wool is just too warm. I’m starting to wear sweaters when temperatures hit single digits (Celsius) and jackets when below zero. I’m not made for warm and friendly. I need breathable. Cotton sucks here.

      I live in Australia and I wear 100% cotton very regularly, including summer. It was 39° today and I’ve been wearing a cotton shirt all day.

      It certainly does not feel sweaty all the time.

        Good thing how you perceive the world is how everyone perceives it. Thanks for helping me understand I don’t know how I feel.

      Get yourself a merino wool base layer shirt, like a thin one not sweater thick. It’ll be surprisingly cool.

      Try hemp or bamboo fibre (has different names like rayon, tencel, lyocell).

      You could try different thicknesses of cotton and see how it feels. Or cotton blended with the other materials. Some companies list their shirts as lightweight or heavyweight or give cloth weight in gsm (grams per square meter) or oz (ounces per square yard). A lightweight and oversized shirt will be good in the heat.

      Cotton feels sweaty all the time

      The opposite for me, synthetic clothing makes me sweat like a bastard, I try to only buy 100% cotton shirts and stuff
