Weird, I have an I DId it from marathon 2015 and Dopey 2016 and both are really soft. I wouldn't like a stiff cotton for sure, I'm so spoiled with softer blends now.We got there on Friday last year and there were still some left. I bought one, but I really don't care for it. The fit isn't that great and the cotton is pretty stiff. Even with washing and drying it, it hasn't softened up much.
