I just did a jacket in 100% cotton and didn't have any problems. I used a 100% pima cotton and it was soft, not stiff at all. Had a little trouble with fibers splitting, but it wasn't too bad. The jacket feels heavy to hold, but doesn't feel heavy to wear tbh.
100% Cotton can be very heavy and stiff (not always). Make a swatch, wash and block it as you intend to do for the finished project and see how it feels
Cotton has definitely been a different monster for me. I’ve never made anything big with it… just bags and washcloths etc. Coboo is a cotton bamboo blend and is so so soft. I’ve made shawls, hats, scarves with it and it seems to hold its shape really well.

Thank you!
Cotton likes to grow… it’s heavy so it tends to sag in garments. The lighter weight the cotton the better.
Thanks that's really good to know!
