I started buying Thomas Lee in 2013, the quality of the Sheets was Fantastic the fabric was substantial ( as in a heavier fabric than today ) purchased more sets in 2015 they were also fantastic sheets. The wonderful slick, crisp, cool percale just wonderful! Then around 2018 I got a set that was scratchy had to send them back. I bought another set in around 2019-20-21 that I had to send back due to them being scratchy. I have been trying to purchase sets of sheets from Thomas Lee that would do me the rest of my life ( I am 69 ) so I keep purchasing them hoping to get the quality I fell in love with in 2013. So far that has not happened. The most recent set in Jan 2022 are better the fabric is much thinner then original 2013 sets, the slickness is not there, the crispness is not there like the old ones. The whole feel of the fabric is completely different. I have washed the set about 12 times ( as directed ) while they are not cool, slick and crisp they are not as scratchy as the last sets. They do not feel right though, as you sleep on them they take on the feel of almost a blanket type feel. The fabric is just off! I think it all has to do with the long-staple cotton that is being used or the quality of cotton the fabric is made from. This company is not the only one having this problem now, there are a lot of them having this issue. I have tried everyone that I can think of and all have to be sent back. I will keep this set and hope over time the set becomes less fabricky ( for lack of a better word ) and more slick, crisp and cool. I do wish there was a way to replicate the new sets to match the old original set from 2013. I also notice quite a jump in price from 2013. The company is great to work with. They understand having to send them back. I wish I never had to send them back. G Burgess
