I don't know about "breaking in". New textiles often have sizing, which is a compound that aids in the spinning / weaving process. That should come off in the first wash though. I wash my white set in hot water and tumble dry with a cupe wool dryer balls. I don't use fabric softener on anything, because I feel like it makes clothes dirtier, but some people really like fabric softener. So it's a choice.

I have Red Land sheets that I've had for about 6 months. While I think they feel great, that are not going to ever feel like a 600 micro thread count sheet. They are substantial and weight-ier feeling. They drape differently. They breath differently. I've been very happy with them, no pilling or wear to be seen. I think they have a long way to go before they are flannel soft.

Fabric tends to get softer as it gets some wear and tear. Think jeans that have gotten softer after a year or two. But I think some of that is the fiber actually breaking down. You can artificially create that effect by brushing fabric. You sacrifice length of life though.

You certainly dropped that "bUt SCIENCE sHoWs thERe ArE jUSt Two sExEs!" argument like it burned you.

But I bet you're going to bust out with it again the second you think the people you are making it to can't come back at you with science.

I would throw Triple Bottom in there for a trifecta.
