I have been searching for old-fashioned polyester/cotton percale sheets and this is as close I have come to finding what I want. As some others have mentioned, I think, the sheets have a very funky odor right out of the package, but they are fine after washing. They fit great and feel good -- not as good as my old percale -- but still pretty good. Unfortunately, the sheets I ordered were navy and the ones I received said they were navy, but they were definitely purple. You might be able to get by if there is no other navy around to compare it to. But judge for yourself from the photo.
