I have been on mytailor.com and am designing my own dress shirts.

I cannot decide between blends fabric or single poly fabric.

Can someone explain to me the differences?

Thanks
John

For only 10-20 dollars more, you could get at least some kind of cotton 2-ply. I understand cost being a factor, but if you're going to go through the trouble of getting MTM shirts, it just doesn't make much sense to me to use poly blend or even a single ply cotton. The only exception to this is maybe as a trial shirt to test fit.
