Polyester cotton tends to be more water-resistant than denim due to its synthetic fibers, which can repel water better than the natural fibers found in denim. Denim is typically made from cotton, which absorbs moisture more easily, making it less water-resistant overall. While both fabrics can be treated for water resistance, polyester cotton generally offers better performance in wet conditions.
Cotton is not water resistant.
Denim is made from cotton, a natural fiber that is absorbent by nature. The weave of denim fabric allows for water molecules to be trapped between the fibers, leading to absorption. This absorbency can make denim feel heavier when wet.
No.

You will want to wash the denim in hot-warm water. Use a regular laundry detergent. You can wash your denim with other denim or towels if you don't have enough denim to do a full load. But if your denims isn't 100% denim and has cotton particles, you may not want to wash it in hot water or dry it on a high heat. Drying anything with cotton can cause your material to draw up or shrink.
Wool is the best insulator.because wool retains air between the fibres
Polyester dries quicker than cotton, as the polyester fibres don't absorb as much water.
Cotton absorbs liquid -- one of its known characteristics.
It is absorbent.
There are 3 types of material you can buy. cotton, polyester and a cotton polyester blend. The cotton polyester blend is going to be your best option because it's breathable due to the cotton but still incredible sturdy and waterproof due to the polyester. Cotton, polyester and a poly/cotton blend are your main choices for a boat cover. Cotton is the cheapest, but most breathable. The blend is probably the best choice, since it offers much of the durability and water repellent of the polyester while still having some breathability to help prevent mildew from humidity.
Unlike cotton fibres, which absorb water, polyester fibres doesn't absorb water, though may have water on the surface - which quickly dries.
In order to make coat outerwear, you need polyester fibers, nylon, and water-resistant cotton. These materials combined together can combat all weather conditions.
