I have two bamboo t-shirts from Hemptown, and they are a blend of 70% bamboo, 30% cotton. They are indestructible, except for the moth that ate a hole in one of them (I guess it tastes good?). I wash these shirts and toss them in the dryer when I don't have time to line-dry them, and they don't shrink or bleed. These shirts are so comfortable, that I wear them under my dress shirts for comfort, as they are cool in warm months, and warm in cool months.
They are not that much more expensive than a lot of junk clothing out there, and I'm learning that it makes sense to pay a bit more for a quality item that I can keep for years, rather than replace things every season. Hemptown is a cool company too, doing the right things for the environment and also support fair human rights for its workers. Definitely a business I like supporting!
