This will be a printed sample of on USA grown/sewn cotton.  It may contain small printing or color errors, which is why it didn't make it through the final QC.  However it will still:
Let you feel the cotton with ink
See the saturation of the ink
Feel the quality
Wash it many times to see how it might change
 
We will do our very best to send a bandana that is the most similar to your proposed project.
 
USA GROWN/SEWN
The USA grown/sewn bandanas are not manufactured by us, they have an overlock edge and are just your standard issue bandana.  This is our most economical option. They are cut and sewn by machinery (I have seen it in action, very cool!), but in order to facilitate this process they starch the fabric during the dyeing process.  This makes for an initial hand feel that is a bit stiff.  Once the bandana is washed, it softens considerably.  
 
The threads used to weave this fabric are open end spun which produces a coarser, fuzzier fabric that is known for its durability and ability to withstand washing and wear.  It is commonly used in workwear, and it is well suited for a bandana fabric in this regard. It will continue to get softer with increased use and washing.  The exception to this is the natural/undyed option, which  is soft from the get go, as it doesn't get dyed/starched.
