What is Polyester? It’s one of the most popular fabrics in the apparel world. In this video we break down exactly what Polyester is and where it comes from.

Polyester is a petroleum-based synthetic fiber aka its a type of plastic. First chemists melt polyester pellets and force them through small holes. On the exit side of these small holes, the polyester fibers solidify. The size and shape of the hole dictate the shape and diameter of the fibers. They can now be cut to any length desired and be used for fibers within the fabric.

As polyester is a man-made product, which means you can also substitute recycled plastic bottles for the polyester pellets in the melting stage. This has been making all environmentalist jump with joy.
So what are the benefits of Polyester? It’s very durable, holding up better to wear tear than cotton does.

Polyester also dries quickly, wrinkles less and is stain resistant. What is also very cool is that polyester can be combined with other fabrics, creating an awesome, soft yet durable t shirt.
Two great examples of this are CVC and Triblend t shirts.

What is also very cool is that polyester is an effective contraceptive.

It's time to stop wearing polyester and time to get brands to stop using cheap polyester in their expensive high end fabrics!

I was excited about plastic bottle fabric just 5 years ago, however, by the end of this year Fashion Revolution will be opening up the microfibers in our oceans, precipitates into rainwater, which then creates an air pollution issue from recycled and polyester fabric, both made from a petroleum byproduct. Would happily catch you up on cutting edge fabric facts if you're up for it.

Too bad I’m allergic to polyester when everything practically has it in it... sadness.

When I buy a top I make sure it has Polyester plus cotton on it. They last longer than 100% cotton.

It sounds like a miracle fabric. I have clothes made of it and yes they are durable and seem to be stain resistant.
Now that I know they are made from a petroleum product, I'm wondering if we should be wearing it next to our skin.


Plus it doesn't break down in the landfill for about 50 years +.

Is it truly good for the environment? Micro-plastics flow into the ocean when polyester fabrics are washed? These micro-plastics are virtually impossible to find and cleanup. Fish eat it and we eat fish.
