Merino wool is clearly superior to cotton in every way, and yet most consumers still buy cotton. How can Capitalism make World a better place when consumers are fucking idiots immune to facts and logic?

not as versatile or hard wearing as cotton, especially in thinner fabric construction. Great for thicker stuff, better than cotton of simlar thickness, except for the fact that you can really machine wash, so ther is an inconvenience. BEst when used with a percentage of synthetic to give it strength and hole the garment together.

100% Merino wool is too fragile for lighter weights.
It is a fantastic fabric but in the heat you're better off with cotton or, better yet, linen.

Linen is better than cotton too

>>511148639 (OP)
It is, but you get fewer yards of usable textile per unit of land than you do from cotton, and the yardage you do get is more expensive to produce. There is no good evidence that economies of scale would substantially cheapen the end product or reduce costs because it comes from animals.

>>511149011
Merino is NOT, umlike regular sheep wool. That's the huge deal.

>>511148639 (OP)
you have to dryclean merino

>>511148810
You can wear wool socks for fucking weeks without them starting to stink.

Merino is best as an underlayer when doing things like snow or alpine sports. You can actually wear a pair of merino underwear for 3 days straight in the backcountry and not feel like a scuzz bag.

>>511149492
In the heat, cotton absorbs water and stays wet causing inflammation.

I bought a bunch of merino socks and they're good but not as good as alpaca wool socks. Spooky how well the alpaca socks keep my feet dry

Both have their uses, but if you're saying merino wool is superior than percale cotton for sleeping you're a fucking fool.

We should be using linen, wool, and cotton.

Cotton is honestly far superior at least for warm environments.

>>511149116
In hot weather you want a thin loose fabric that gets wet with sweat and catches the air/breeze on the wet fabric. It will be 100 degrees at 90% humidity all next week here and I will be wearing cotton or polycotton

>>511149904
In heat, a thin fabric absorbing sweat is the only thing that will cool you down.

You cant make it thin/strong enough and it cannot be cleaned easily enough. Cotton is relatively durable, can be made thin, breathes well even with a tight weave, can be cleaned easily, and is cheap.

Cotton is far better than wool for the heat and I have no loyalty to any fabric kek. I wear what works the best and I know what actual heat is and work in it every day for over half of the year.

Over the years I have optimized outdoor clothing for where I live. Synthetic briefs, cotton socks, poly cotton pants tucked into knee high snake boots, a cheap oversized thin fabric polycotton shortsleeve button shirt tucked in and a baseball cap and polarized sunglasses. That is the optimal outfit here at least.

> Merino wool is clearly superior to cotton in every way
No, not in every way. It's not as comfy in hot climate and isn't as hard-wearing, not suitable for workwear.
But it's the best you can wear in cold weather, particularly as underwear. It keeps you warm even if soaked.

>>511151205
Cotton or polycotton is the superior sock. Socks are consumables. You need many pair and they should be thin enough to breathe but not too thin and tight enough not to want to fall down.

In general poly cotton or even just 100% cotton is the best clothing material for most things other than briefs.

>>511150218
You responded to the wrong person.

>>511151335
I have worn alpaca wool socks but they are still inferior to a good poly cotton sock. They are more expensive, less durable, less comfortable. The weave is loose and they breathe well. But that was the only advantage.

Too expensive. Wool in general is premium fabric and Merino wool is top shelf wool.

>>511151548
I can clean cotton any way I want. And if I damage a cotton button shirt they are so cheap to replace.

And with cotton you can get a very very thin fabric- on a shirt that is probably the biggest failure of wool.

>>511151335
depends on the thickness more than anything.
If I wear mediums, my boots are drenched pools.
If I wear thins, I find wool to be better in all situations for socks.

Mainly just use wool for gloves more than anything. Wool being out in the open air is just vastly superior for moisture exchange.
However I can't stand wool when sleeping, linen is somehow better.

>>511151737
I have no loyalty to any fabric other than what works the best. If something works better I will use it. And I have tried most.

>>511151751
to think this ugly bogged monster achieved more in her lifetime than your entire line of welfare failures
lmao

wool contains lanolin which is a skin irritant and an allergy trigger for a lot of people

>>511151941
Linen is a good fabric for shirts in heat if it is very thin and loose.

When I work outside it is so hot and humid here I will be sweaty in about 10 minutes anyways. I welcome the sweat because it cools you. But a fabric that is comfortable to the skin when wet is also a major consideration. The thinner the fabric the better.

Merino 100% meme faggotry. It is soft, that's it. Other than that, it is fucking terrible. For 99% of uses, longwool is far superior to merino. Merino wears through in hours of wear rather than years. It is disposable trash. If you want real socks, you need BFL.

I'm hot in all weather conditions though.
Only temperature I feel comfortable in is around 20 degrees F.
Anything more than that and I'm sweating.
So the difference between wool and linen doesn't really matter here in TN when it's 105 degrees today and 70% humidity every single day.
I'm just hot.

Also I am not "comfortable" in the heat. Who would be? But I am very accustomed to it and can work in it for long hours without much consideration. You just have to hydrate and not over exert. With thin fabrics and sweat, you wont overheat.

It's really not mild in any way.
While that might not be as hot as say Death Valley nor humid as say Georgia.
1. It's more Humid and Hotter here in TN than Death Valley (91 degrees, 10% humidity)
2. It's hotter here than Fort Benning Georgia (91 degrees, 66% humidity)

Middle TN is currently 94 degrees, 64% humidity.
High for this summer will be 110 degrees.
You've been tricked into thinking TN is nice and cool because of the mountain in the east.
Everything west of the mountain is absurdly hot AND HUMID.

cold temperature and sweating
>cotton will get wet with sweat and freeze, you won't like it.
>wool will wisk away the sweat and keep you comfy.

in hot weather cotton will soak sweat and cool you down better than wool

>>511153632
I am quite a bit south of Ft. Benning kek. and it is stormy and overcast here today. But generally in terms of summer dew point and average temperature it is far more hot an humid here than Tennessee.

For example once the storms pass, we are projected at 100 degrees Monday and about 65% humidity.

I wear a lot of Italian merino wool turtleneck sweaters in the winter. Merino wool is comfortable but it is just not as durable as cotton. It doesn't smell and you don't have to wash it as much if you wear your sweaters on a rotation (I have 14 italian merino wool turtlenecks I wear on rotation in the winter months).

>>511153957

I have used the bamboo boxers and I like those. But for work and sweat, I prefer the briefs and I have yet to find a non synthetic that kept their shape as well as the synthetics.

>>511154421
That's because you are buying cheap wool that is likely mixed with acrylic or other trash synthetic fibers.

>>511154008
Bro, that's simply not true.

I'm looking at all temperatures throughout the last few years for record highs and lows.
At no point did Florida ever get HOTTER than TN. In fact multiple times TN was hotter than Florida.
Your humidity is higher sometimes, but no shit.
You also get cool costal winds though to offset the heat.
It has been hotter in Middle TN all of this summer on average compared to Florida.
Once again, it is hotter in Middle TN right now, than it is in Florida right now.

If you can't understand weather fronts, don't post about temperature, because TN is constantly experiencing warm fronts from nearly every direction and rarely (less than once a season) experience a cool front from the north west.

>>511149492
Linen is fucking based. I have some linen pants I bought for trips to Florida and they're cooler than shorts.

Only downside is that you can see through them a bit so you need matching color underwear

Merino wool is antibacterial. It is the best.

>>511149904
polish education, everyone

It's called evaporative cooling. Cotton is commonly called "death cloth" in colder climates because it's so efficient at removing heat when wet

>>511149011
Merino wool can be processed ultra smooth and cool. Or thicker for cold weather and every weight in between. It is the best.

Look you dingus, your elevation, lower dew point, and higher latitude make Tennesee notably cooler than the wiregrass region of the deepsouth.

You must be fuller than a tick on red eye liquor if you think surfing around on weather channel looking at ONE DAY in the summer has anything to do with the general climate and the fact that the summer average highs, heat index, and dew point are all notably higher in the deep south than in tennessee.

The hottest places in Tennessee are generally a few degrees cooler than let's say Tallahassee FL, (93 degree average vs 91 degree average) however Tennessee would be considerably less humid.

The heat index in Tallahassee can vary in the summer at consistently around 110 and up to 130. Memphis might see 110 heat index in a spike.

Also so far in Memphis thus year the highest recorded day time temps are 95 degrees - occurred three times. 98 has been recorded in Tallahasse five times already this year.

>>511148639 (OP)
My fiance made me a hat and scarf out of merino wool. It really is so nice.

>>511160854
So just to clarify- the highest day time temp so far in all of Tennessee is 98 degrees so far this year. The closest city to me has recorded 100 twice so far this year with considerably more humidity on top of it.

Another stat for you- in 2024 the average July high was 95.3 degrees closest to me. The highest average July temp in Tennessee was Memphis at 89.8 degrees.

For Christmas. Easy, cheap, and I even said
>and don't worry about if I get too many socks. I can never have too many!
Christmas comes and I get 1 pair, and they're insane. They're some sort of strange ski sock or something and they come all the way up to my butt cheeks and not in a sexy way. I was like

And no one ever got me any wool socks. I have to buy them myself.
I fucking hate having cold feet.

>>511164726
It isn't easy or cheap, it is fucking near impossible to find wool socks. All you can get are wool+xenoestrogen blends. And the wool is usually worthless merino shit that wears out in a couple of hours.
