Back to Polyester. Having arrived here in a 100% all-cotton ensemble, excluding my leather boots, I am now back in the 50-65% polyester garb.

I am wearing the NY State-issued 50/50 boxers, 50/50 T-shirt, and the forest green uniform pants and shirt are 65 poly/35 cotton.

I can tell the difference. Cotton does breathe better.

I will apparently have to wait until I get to my next location to be able to buy and wear my 100% "tighty whitey". Sorry, if this falls under the "too much information" category.

I was issued five sets of underwear, three sets of "greens" (pants and shirt, my uniform), one long-sleeved green sweatshirt, one white shirt (for visiting use only), three handkerchiefs, one green coat, and one green towel.

Yeah, they are big on green here!

The interesting thing is that when you transfer to a new prison, all of your clothes go with you. In the Fed system, you were issued new clothes every time you moved.

I have a pair of size 14, lace-up, low-cut sneakers. I will need to wait till I get to my next stop to see about my special size 11 EEEEEE boots.

So, there you have it, all the dope on my prison clothes.
