I genuinely never thought of fabric when working out. I mean, I have in the sense of lightweight or tight vs oversized clothes, but not just cotton vs polyester. Thanks for educating us! Going to pay attention today my workout in cotton vs poly
I like my activewear in 100 polyesters most of the time. If it's freezing, I prefer a cotton-polyester blend hoodie over a workout shirt and cotton-polyester blend sweat pants.
I'm not that keen on wrapping my body in plastic, especially when I'm sweating, getting hot and/or being in the sun. So although there are some cons with cotton for activewear I'l always be choosing something natural every time
I will admit, I'm not into sportswear, and on top of that a self confessed devotee to the time honored classic that cotton is! I thought I would completely disagree with this whole video. After watching I was very impressed and learnt a lot (subscribed of course!) I'll still be sticking with natural fibres for my work! however anyone who is serious about garment design should be watching this channel! great work
@@payydroe5462 lol that's not hygiene problem mate, it happen to me too...in asian countries where it is very hot you can't avoid sweat, even after I take a bath the moment I sweat later on my shirt will leave a little smell unlike cotton
It's the bacteria. They produce smelly compounds. Polyester fabrics provide an especially good environment for certain species of bacteria to reproduce. They happen to be the same species that are responsible for the characteristic odors of rotting carcasses. So when people say, about smelly polyester clothing, "It smells like something died," they are correct. It's the same types of bacteria and they are producing the same compounds.
Polyester fabric is airtight, but durable and sunscreen. Pure cotton fabric is breathable and comfortable, but it is not wearable and easy to pilling. It has its own merits. I prefer mixed materials, just as many big brands use mixed materials to make clothes, such as CK, Tommy and smaconsum
pure cotton is not peeling so much even after long using. If you buy 70%cotton with 30% addon from synthetic, you can be always sure its go piling after few wears. imo fixed materials are only good when its cold and you need some cozy hoodie or panths.
@@wadoudguelmami2056 go to 100% Cotton or 100%poliester. If you get mixed you will always have peeling after 2weeks. Acrylic, wool will always got peeling after time
I find that polyester feels great when you first buy it, but over time it does break down and it starts to feel itchy. I have never had that issue with cotton. That said, I choose the fabric based on what I'll use it for. There are also 50-50 cotton/poly blends out there that seem to work out pretty well for a lot of things.
@@TheFury295 once the polyester breaks down and gets itchy, fabric softener doesn't work. I think it's just a material property or something inherent with polyester.
U r doing great job.. Its important to know abt these things for a better life style.. Nylon & polyester is confusing.. What & why we choose one of these
I can't believe I put a dozen videos on my watch later and they're all useless compared to this ONE video in terms of packed information regarding polyester. 😭😭 Thank you! This video is such a huuuggeee help! 😤😤🔥🔥👍👍
Not sure if it depends on the humidity or not, but here in Arizona polyester just makes me bead up sweat on my body and it gets trapped between me and the shirt. Cotton on the other hand pulls it away from my body then my shirt simply dries in the dry heat we have here.
All my cotton shirts shrink after putting them on a dryer. They didn't loose fitting but they do shrink 1 size smaller. And sometimes they rolled back because the cotton cannot compress anymore so they rolled back.
Mannnn you’re a such a genius. Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. I recently subscribe to your channel. Keep going man👏👏
Personally I find cotton to be much more comfortable and prefer it overall. Natural tends to be best. But I do have 2 poly shirts that I got back in 2011 that are still going strong so its without debate much stronger.
@@johnnytsunami3558 Have had both. Compressed poly underwear works best for short work outs when you don't want your junk showing if your wearing shorts. Cotton is much more comfortable for longer periods of time. Though my primary underwear is neither. Look up underwear that is made of model. (Pronounced like "mowdal") Most comfortable underwear that I have ever had. It has some of the compression (without to much) of poly, but is vastly more comfortable than cotton. Tends to be much more expensive too. Test out a pair before you buy multiples to make sure its right for you. There are multiple different manufactures but is very difficult and rare to find in stores.
@@johnnytsunami3558 Just went through some of the comments and read that poly may cause skin cancer over time. Doing some google searches and it seems to be a pretty prevenient claim backed up by the EPA. Still looking it up at this time. So best to be cautious.
@@EagleXYZLibertarianForChrist woow thank you soo much for your insightful response.. but I see poly isnt a good long term wear only for short periods at best. Is modal only sold online ? Sounds worth a try if not too expensive. I dont really like the idea of like 25$ for one pair.
@@EagleXYZLibertarianForChrist yeah definitely cant go with the poly long term then.. I just heard the benefits of no sweat (drys fast) and almost jumped aboard
Huh that’s weird. I think it just depends on the shirt though I have a few polyester shirts that cause the same thing and I have a few cotton shirts that do the same aswell.
@@r011ing_thunder6 we use polyester and when it gets old and we can't were it we through it.because it not biodegradable like plastic cause pollution.also in the process of making polyester causes pollution
I prefer Modal over cotton or polyester… and it uses 10x-20x less water to make than cotton so its way more eco friendly than either of those 2 choices.
I've get polyester Nike joggers before 17 years. I hate tham and what is worse, they still don't want to wear off. That plastic craps are indestructible.
cotton is actually better in the sun since you dont want your sweat to evaporate. the wind keeps you cool better if your sweat doesnt evaporate away too quickly
If cotton was better when it was sunny footballers will wear it, sports athletes would wear it etc but we see almost no sports athletes wear cotton cloths they always wear polyester with elastane and sometimes a high polyester blend
light weight cotton would be better than polyester. Polyester can be like wearing a plastic bag, then traps heat. Especially if it is dry where you live, hot and dry cotton should be better than polyester. 100% cotton biodegradable too thats important for the environment.
Pima or supima cotton for me personally can’t stand polyester, you can even tell when a 100% cotton shirt has poly snuck in from the manufacture because it’s cheaper normally. Don’t get me wrong I have Some poly blend for the winter but they definitely are not my favorite
this proly wrng place to ask, but sometiems I buy t shirts, and they have picutes on it, or a square and a picture on it but after a few washes, the pictures starts to fade away the shirt is cotton I thnk. not sure the material of the square that has the picture how to last longer also I thnk they said I forgot why, but to hand wash, but I dont got time for htat, need to put in washing macinbe
@@rumplestilskinsmum5094 thanks, I usualy put them inside out but yeah I was using a drying machine so I gues I an get a new shirt, and see how it goes without the dryer, but yeah, the dryer , takes time.

Nothing can replace cotton cause it takes care of our mother nature and so takes care of us🌼!

Yes
For someone that sweats a lot, would higher cotton (60% cotton/40% polyester) be better in the summer, or higher polyester (60% polyester/40% cotton)?
Polyester unless you like large sweat spots.
I think polyester shirts get smelly more easily and should be washed more frequently than cotton shirts.
As a runner 100 per cent polyester is critical its strong and long lasting and the best athletic garments are polyester.
All my cotton shirts shrink after putting them on a dryer. They didn't loose fitting but they do shrink 1 size smaller. And sometimes they rolled back because the cotton cannot compress anymore so they rolled back.
This was awesome! Very very well-explained and great details/insights you have shared. Appreciate it. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would you recommend 100 percent of polyester for winter rather than summer in dress shirt attire
I am allergic to Polyester. Therefore I cannot even consider anything that has it in it. Cotton os so wonderful and feel so good.
For me, polyester is way more comfortable than cotton because it doesn't cause any irritation whatsoever and I like the silky smoothness of it.
Polyester causes skin cancer and other symptoms you may not notice right away. It takes years to manifest

Did you guys know that polyester is Literally PLASTIC !!!!!!!!!
Polyester conforms to your body, cotton at least hides your flaws better

Hi, the lettering on my cotton poly hoodie looks weird. How do I remove it please? I tried ironing but it almost burnt it. Please answer me 😭😭😭
Buy- alba chem VLR. this will help remove any letter or design that you wish to remove.
I've had 100% cotton underwear rip right out of the package. I'm 100% in the polyester camp. Great video 👍
Came here before I bought a certain hoodie material online lol helped thanks
I only wear polyester underwear because it more durable. I like how polyester doesnt wear out and lose color as fast like cotton
Not to mention that that it doesn't make your butt itch
Polyester is unbreathable so it’s more likely to cause health issue for your baby shark or that pool area in general

Hot weather = cotton
Cold weather = polyester
Sports = polyester
Cotton retain water. Linon is way better

Best 60% cotton 40% polyester sports t shirt?
Honestly I prefer polyester and Cotton bland Rather than Wearing neither a hundred percent polyester or A hundred percent cotton.
Cotton shirts cause me more irritation on my nipples than polyester, cotton is rough and causes my nipples to become sore.
You can buy nipple patches 🤷🏻♀️
Look for better quality cotton
Wear pasties
Huh that’s weird. I think it just depends on the shirt though I have a few polyester shirts that cause the same thing and I have a few cotton shirts that do the same aswell.

light weight cotton would be better than polyester. Polyester can be like wearing a plastic bag, then traps heat. Especially if it is dry where you live, hot and dry cotton should be better than polyester. 100% cotton biodegradable too thats important for the environment.

on nike sportswear tech its has some sort of tape on the zippers and lines what is that called?
Cotton fits better and is looser. Polyester fits tighter and is a lot thinner. I am talking shirts. Basketball shorts I like polyester.
How about silk
How about the environment? How long does polyester sit around in landfills?

Cotton for everyday clothes would be a good choice. Polyester or mixed fabrics for workout is better.
