For the fashion conscious, there is no excuse for wearing polyester, it is manmade, artificial and does tend to be flammable. As a scientific answer, polyester is versatile and can be woven thin enough for summer wear or thick enough for winter wear (though acrylic is the preferred artificial wool). However, wear at your own risk, I would recommend silk for summer and wool or cashmere for winter, keep the polyester for wrapping up your food products.
