I sort of know that some fabrics don't want fabric conditioner e.g towels so
they stay absorbent, microfibre dusters because it stops their "scratchy" fibres
catching the dust, materials with special coatings etc.

But why would a 100% cotton denim shirt say not to use fabric conditioner?

I bought some denim shirts a couple of years ago. Stiff as boards and
uncomfortable to wear. Looked on the internet for solutions, and the
commonest one IIRC was 'use a fabric softener - it's what it's for'.
So I did, and they eventually softened up.

Probably makes it limp, the shirt I mean.

Unless the cotton has some special finishing treatment (and there is
quite a range of these) then maybe the manufacturer is being
over-cautious. I have several "dry clean only" garments that can be
safely machine washed.

Modern conditioners are much improved from the early days and good brands
(eg Lenor) will not make towels water-resistant. Nor do they accumulate
noticeably.

Less able to absorb sweat? The ability to soak up and then allowing it
to evaporate is possible one reason that 100% cotton garments are
recommended in hot weather.

I've put it in to all mixed washes with no apparent effect on the clothes
etc in the wash. Could it be something to do with temperature?

We have stopped using fabric conditioner.
As well as the monetary savings the soap drawer now stays clean & the
clothes no longer have a foul chemical smell that the manufacturer
classes as pleasant.

It also gunks up machines, producing whiffs & mould. And is pointless anyway.

Marriage is a romance in which the hero dies in the first chapter.
