Materials:

• Made primarily with cotton or a cotton-polyester blend, selected to offer a soft feel, good breathability, and overall comfort for casual wear and light activities.
• The inclusion of "Comfort Stretch" suggests the presence of a small percentage of elastane or spandex in the fabric composition, which gives it elastic properties for greater freedom of movement and a fit that adapts to the body without restrictions.
• The fabric is designed to be durable and easy to care for, maintaining its shape and appearance after washes, ideal for a frequently used garment. If it contains polyester, this material would also provide faster drying properties compared to pure cotton, making it more versatile for activities near water.
