Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37191 — The words of Umar bin al-Khattab

Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father, who said: When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in al-Sham, his (may Allah be pleased with him) shirt was torn at the seat. It was a coarse Sunbulani shirt. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) sent that shirt to the governor of Adhri'at or Aylah. The narrator said: He washed that shirt and patched it, and a Qibtari shirt was sewn for Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Then a man brought both shirts to him (may Allah be pleased with him) and gave him (may Allah be pleased with him) the Qibtari shirt. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took that shirt, felt it and said: This is soft. Then he threw that shirt back to the man and said: Give me my shirt, for of the two shirts it absorbs sweat better.
