Microfiber shirts vs cotton shirts? (specifically in a white tux shirt)
Any complaints / comments about microfiber shirts in general?
Compare microfiber to cotton for me since I know cotton but not microfiber?
Talk to me ... I'm clueless.
Thanks!

Well depends on whether you sweat at all - personally I like natural
products like 100% cotton - it's a pain to iron but looks and feels
good. contrasting to microfiber.

"The common microfiber fabric has no wicking properties. After all, it
is 100% polyester. It's just plastic. It looks like the real thing, but
essentially it is not. When you wear this fabric, you will feel hot, and
after a while, sticky. Sweat is not absorbed, and forms a gluey layer
between the skin and the fabric. The result, the t-shirt clings to you
body making it even more uncomfortable. Fabric manufacturers know this
problem, and they went a small step to make it better - add a chemical
solution to make it absorb sweat. The solution works, but only good for
5-6 washes. After which, the chemical is washed/wears off, and the
t-shirt reverts back to its non-wicking properties. This process is
called "chemical wicking""

Great info. Thank you.
Cotton wins. Problem solved.
