Is bamboo clothing more expensive than cotton
Short answer: Bamboo clothing typically costs more than the cheapest cotton and about the same as good cotton. The price per wear depends more on the quality than on the fibre.
Compare the same quality
A cheap cotton t-shirt and a good bamboo viscose t-shirt are not comparable. Compare within the same quality class.
What the price covers
Yarn, fabric weight, construction and fit. See why there is a difference between cheap and expensive bamboo clothing.
Price per wear
A garment worn twice as many times is cheaper per wear. See bamboo and economics.
Multipack
If you buy several identical ones, the price per piece drops. See underpants in multipacks.
Where it pays off most
In underwear and socks, which are worn daily and washed often. See bamboo underwear for men.
For women
See the corresponding items in bamboo underwear for women.
Washing extends the life
40 degrees and no tumble dryer can double the lifespan. See the washing guide.
What you save
Clothes that last longer have to be bought less often. Convert the price into price per wear and the sum looks different from the price tag. See bamboo t-shirts for men.
