I am sorry that I was not in the office when you rang, but here is the information that you wanted. We no longer manufacture pure cotton shirts. All our garments are now poly-cotton, which is stronger, need little ironing and allows variations in patterns. But still you can find pure cotton clothes if contact Grace Fashion Ltd. at 618 West and Vine Street, Chicago, Illinois.
