I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.

Aren’t all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?

Some shirts have a small micro fibre cleaning cloth (like the one in your glasses case) sewn into them.

Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).

You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).

Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.

I (almost) never use a t-shirt to clean my glasses, but once tried the internal lining of my jacket since it looks like a coarser version of the cloth that came with my glasses. The result wasn’t the same but it was still good.

Thanks for a surprisingly in-depth answer! I very rarely wear proper shirts, which I think explains my assumptions.
