Egyptian Cotton Dress Shirt

I am going crazy researching this. So at my school you can wear any color polo shirt - which is the only choice you have in the otherwise strict dress code and uniform policy. Bright colored polos are always a big deal and people look everywhere. Well I found some beautiful ones, which sounds stupid but I love them, and my mom tells me that we can't buy any because they're 100% cotton. Well, it's egyptian cotton, which I researched and is longer and smoother and from what I gather, stronger. Will it still shrink like normal cotton (which I would appreciate if you could tell me how much normal cotton shrinks too, just for kicks :) ) ?

Or will it shrink less?

I just want people who can tell me an answer, I hate when people reply saying 'I don't know.' It ruins the point of Yahoo Answers.

no.. . these wont shrink..its the best cotton you can buy... . ....

Presented by www.atailoredsuit.com Cotton is the worlds most important apparel fiber. It is attractive, durable, comfortable, and has proven ...

Maby there are many brands. I wouldn't know. Can anyone tell me where I can find a nice button down shirt with collar, something I can wear with a tie and nice dress slacks. Something such as Perry Ellis, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, Nautica, or Tommy Hilfigger, but a dress shirt with amazing Egyptian quality cotton. Please send a URL if you have one. thanks

I have a few choices to take here, so take your own time and read the choices please.

Alex Mercer from [PROTOTYPE].
Upside- As a character, Alex Mercer rules!!! The costume would be easy to make, I could embroider the red wings on the back of a low cut black leather zip-up jacket and patch white leather strips on the sleeves. I could easily wear a half zipped down gray hoodie withe a long button down dress shirt underneath.
Downside- A lot of people didn't like [PROTOTYPE] so I don't know whether or not to do Alex. The materials used are modern, easy to find, and would look good (and like Alex) after a million uses.
Medium price, slowest, and most durable.

Link from The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Upside- This Icon has been one of my subjects of cosplay for many years, and every time i make the Costume, I get better at it. Easy to procure materials
Downside. I need a good sword (got one!!! thank you trueswords.com), a new shield (not getting the one from here, it's the twilight princess one, I'm doing Ocarina of Time) and new chainmail. One use only, the Chain mail ALWAYS hurts the inside of the velour, and velour is the only material that I will use for the over tunic, and the under tunic is always stained by the metal, the material being white.
Most Expensive, fastest, and medium durability.

Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed 2
Upside- This Costume is easy to make, the clothes being loose in fitless spots and the clothes being fitted it fit spots, this would be the easiest to throw together in a few days, I need to make a second Assassin's blade (which is difficult to do, because I utilize the same activation method for blade expansion as well as contraction)
Downside- This outfit would easily be destroyed, because the only material that seems to work right at this point would be Egyptian Cotton sheets, and those are pretty weak. It would take a lot of work to get down the belt to be just perfect to work right with the costume. This outfit would take a lot of welding.
Cheapest, medium speed, least durable.
also, i am tired of being Link.

well Link is always awesome...and if you can make an awesome costume for him, I say do it.
Ezio on the other hand is bad ass XP and would be something different from the many others who will be doing Link..so uniqueness I say wins over the iconic :]

I felt the warmth of the sun on my face and I heard birds singing to the tone of walking on sunshine. I stretched my arms up so that my body formed a Y and yawned then I threw the covers off my body and sat up and slipped my feet into a nice, soft pair of fuzzy slipper. I walked over to my dresser and grabbed a silver hair brush and ran it threw my hair, It was as smooth and shiny as a brand new chocolate bar, I looked deeply into the mirror to see my hazel eyes turning yellowish. I smiled and walked out to the hallway and as I walked down the stairs, I felt unsettled, something was troubling me and I did not know what it was. I had just woken up, but that could not be my problem. It was the stairs! They were gripping me by my slippers. They were squeezing my feet. Then suddenly they let go. I lurched forward and then backward. I nearly fell forwards and could have rolled down them perhaps even to my death. But, why?

“Mom the stairs are misbehaving again!!” I yelled but I didn’t hear a response “Mom?” I yelled again. I couldn’t move and I felt helpless, I finally got the stairs to let go of my feet and I was able to continue. I walked into the kitchen and looked around to find a pink piece of paper on the table. It was from my mom it read…

Dear Avis,
Sorry I was not here when you woke up but I had to get to work.
Mr. Pearson called saying there was an emergency at the Department
Of Magic, and they needed me in right away. See you when you get back
From Tredwing.
Love,
Mom

I threw down the note and anger, how could she do this to me, I walked over to the fridge and got out an apple. I bit into the apple and the juice flowed into my mouth, I walked up the stairs and into my room. I made my bed then looked around my room, walls the color of dark chocolate and cherry colored diamonds covered the wall and windows framed in heavy red velvet drapes. The window is large, covering most of the north wall and overlooks the valley in fall transition. The canopy bed is covered in Taupe Egyptian cotton sheets with a satin border cover the extra soft queen size mattress. To lay there is to lay in a dream. More pillows than necessary clutter the mass expanse of the headboard. The layers of quilted blanket provide warmth on the coldest nights. The mahogany of the bed make it a safe harbor in a troubled world. I sighed thinking how long it would be till I saw it again, I grabbed my large suit case and filled it with the school uniforms, my spell book, my extra clothing, Itouch, laptop, art stuff and more. I got changed. I wore a thermal 3/4 sleeve length beige shirt with little flowers on it. I wore a brown cami underneath. With it, I wore a corduroy brown/tan plaid mini skirt with plum leggings and moccasins.

I grabbed my broom and suit case and flew off towards the bus station, it was exhilarating. I watched the clouds float by as big cotton balls. My ears had popped and hurt but I loved it. I went on my first ride before they changed the rules, We could not fly in the mortal world but I didn’t care I loved flying. I felt I was in my living room again. The sun was high in the sky and it was a beautiful picture. The rush of the wind I my face and then the bus station was coming up ahead.

I landed and walked into the station, I tucked my broom in my suit case and walked up to the counter. I saw a man step out from the back “Yes Ma’am how may I help you today?” He asked and I looked at how he was dressed, he was wearing a red and black suit with black dress shoes and a gold tie. The gold name plate read JOSH I looked up at his face “Yes Professor Milton told me to tell you ‘Sweet trip to candy land please’” I said and the man nodded and looked around. Then he pushed a button under the desk and the book shelf opened up and I hurried in.

I like it. It sounds a bit like harry potter, but with a bit of a twist. A tad to descriptive sometimes, and there are some run on sentences, but other than that it's really good! :)
