During the winter, I go all cotton. Flannel pants or cotton sweats around the house, jeans or cotton cargo pants for out and about, cotton khakis for biz casual.

I love cotton but for shorts they can be bulky and not stretchy/flexible.

So, in the warmer months, I go with nylon running shorts and cotton t-shirts for daily wear when not in an office – which is 100% of the time now. Maybe cotton or flannel shorts at home at night.

Too much nylon in socks smell bad quickly. Too much cotton in socks makes them not flexible. Somewhere in there is the right mix. I know it when I see it.

And yes, I’d have bet the farm this was a scaredy post.
