Cotton is the most widely produced natural fiber on earth. As a fabric, it is known for being comfortable and durable, making it one of the most popular clothing fabrics. Premium cotton is extremely durable and will not easily rip or tear accidentally. However, cotton is not as durable as polyester or cotton/polyester blends. Like most natural materials, it shrinks when exposed to heat. Therefore, when washing cotton shirts, use cold water and do not add too much detergent, otherwise, it will affect the wear of the fabric. Choose a delicate cycle setting on your washing machine to prevent fading. Keep in mind that due to different manufacturing techniques, the product may feel different on your skin, even though they are all 100% cotton.
Polyester is a man-made fiber made from petroleum. The polyester cloth was invented in 1941, so this fabric is a fairly new entrant compared to cotton. But despite this, polyester is becoming an increasingly popular choice in the apparel industry. Polyester is especially valued by those who are looking for a fabric that can withstand a lot of wear and tear and washing. Polyester is very durable and outlasts cotton and most blends. It's also very difficult to permanently dye because polyester is less absorbent than most fabrics. Polyester fabrics are also known to resist wrinkling, shrinking, and fading if cared for properly. That said, it is recommended to machine wash Lun garments in warm water with all-purpose detergent and tumble dry on low heat.
