Advantages and Disadvantages of Polyester clothing:
Advantages:
Polyester clothing has a lot of advantages: It lasts a long time and wears very well. It is very hard to stain, holds its shape, and does not wrinkle. It can be washed or dry cleaned. It does not yellow. It takes a smaller amount of laundry soap to clean it. Contrary to popular belief, it generally will not sustain a flame, meaning that if, for example, a cigarette is held to it, the fabric will burn and melt where the cigarette is but will not catch on fire itself. Mold, mildew, fungi, etc. do not live on it. While it does not absorb moisture, it does wick it away for evaporation, so in many cases it is cooler than cotton. Many premium clothes are made of a mixture of polyester and cotton to take advantage of these good qualities.
Disadvantages:
It is a plastic and is subject to price changes with the price of oil. It does not have the natural feel of cotton (with some exceptions and use of a fabric softener helps). It is associated with leisure suits from the 70s. If you iron it, you must do so at a low temperature. It will not absorb dyes.

∙ 15y agoPolyester does not breathe. The moisture a human creates just stays on the body or soaks in to the fabric. Polyester does not dye, so you cannot change the color, though when it stains, the stain is very difficult to remove. When the garment tears or wears out or goes out of style, it is just plastic for the landfill.
