Material:
TENCEL™: Sustainably sourced from Austrian wood pulp using a closed-loop production process that recovers and reuses 99% of the solvent.
Cotton: Grown as a water-intensive crop, about 2,700L per shirt, and often treated with pesticides.
Silk: Resource-heavy and harvested from silkworms; production requires significant energy and labor.

Thermoregulation:
TENCEL™: Lab-tested to wick sweat 50% faster than cotton and naturally balances body heat for better temperature regulation.
Cotton: Absorbs moisture but holds onto it, leaving fabric damp.
Silk: Poor moisture control, traps heat and tends to feel clammy.

Comfort:
TENCEL™: Feels silky-soft from day one and continues to improve with use.
Cotton: Starts off stiff, softens over time, but eventually pills.
Silk: Delicate, snags easily, and has a slippery, sometimes high-maintenance texture.

Skin & Hair:
TENCEL™: Creates 70% less friction than cotton, reducing creases, tangles, and skin irritation.
Cotton: Rougher texture that can tug at skin and hair.
Silk: Gentle on skin and hair but fragile and prone to ripping or snagging.

Durability:
TENCEL™: Withstands 500+ washes while resisting fading, wrinkling, and odors.
Cotton: Prone to shrinking, fading, and thinning after around 50 washes.
Silk: Tears easily and usually requires dry cleaning to maintain.

Aesthetic:
TENCEL™: Features a reversible two-tone design with a subtle, ever-shifting sheen for an elegant look.
Cotton: Tends to look bland over time and offers a more casual, wrinkled appearance.
Silk: Has a luxurious gloss but shows wear easily, especially from body oils and stains.

Cost:
TENCEL™: Premium upfront but lasts 5x longer than silk and is machine-washable—saving on care costs.
Cotton: Low initial cost but requires frequent replacement.
Silk: High cost up front and over time due to dry-cleaning and fragility.

Midnight-Ready?
TENCEL™: Yes, engineered for cool, calm, and crease-free sleep from dusk to dawn.
Cotton: No, holds heat and disrupts sleep quality.
Silk: No, too delicate and high-maintenance for everyday use.
