I was given a shirt containing Lenzing Modal at 65% . It said on it that this comes from Beech trees, WHAT!

I'd never heard of it,

I had to look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_(textile)

Sure enough

Its gonna take some getting used to thats for sure,i can't invert without having the ear protection on=( The mesh has an annoying glare in the sun,but at least it breathes,unlike the 3 pair of saftey glasses i have.Since my brother is going in the national guard,looks like i'm going back to working solo again.
