Polyester-cotton blended clothing is more comfortable to wear in humid climates than polyester alone. [1]: 79 A heavy pair of jeans made of 100% cotton that weigh 14 oz (396.9 g) can be cut down to 11 oz (311.8 g), without compromising durability, by changing the composition to a blend of polyester 50% with cotton or nylon 20%.

A pink velour bathrobe made of 100% polyester. A piece of velour fabric. Velour, occasionally velours, is a plush, knitted fabric or textile similar to velvet or velveteen. It can be made from polyester, spandex, cotton, or a cotton-polyester blend. [1] Velour is used in a wide variety of applications, including clothing and upholstery. [2]
A lycra jacket. Stretch fabric is a synthetic fabric that stretches. Stretch fabrics are either 2-way stretch or 4-way stretch. 2-way stretch fabrics stretch in one direction, usually from selvedge to selvedge (but can be in other directions depending on the knit). 4-way stretch fabrics, such as spandex, stretches in both directions, crosswise and lengthwise.

In the reaction, the molecules of the fabric are bonded together to keep them from moving and causing wrinkles. [11] [3] For this reason, durable-press treated garments behave as synthetics. [11] However, almost all the wrinkle resistant garments are made with poly/cotton blends fabrics. [17]
Cotton: Spun traditional thread: general Cotton/polyester: A cotton thread with a polyester core which is slightly stretchy but retains the traditional look of cotton: strength without sheen Fusible: Fuses sewn fabrics together when ironed: binding and appliqué: Linen: A spun thread, typically in a thicker gauge than that used for fabric garments.
For instance, in a cotton polyester core-spun yarn, cotton wraps around a polyester filament yarn. Similarly, core-spun cotton spandex is a yarn in which cotton fibers are twisted around a spandex yarn and covers the core yarn and are primarily used in denim types. Plying two or more core-spun yarns are used for making core-spun threads.
Poplin, also called tabinet (or tabbinet), [1] is a fine (but thick) wool, cotton or silk fabric with crosswise ribs that typically give a corded surface. Nowadays, the name refers to a strong material in a plain weave of any fiber or blend. [2] Poplin traditionally consisted of a silk warp with a weft of worsted yarn.
Ponte fabric is a heavier structure than regular knitted fabrics, which are used in tops and T-shirts. Ponte is fabric with moderate stretch and drape but still maintains the stretch and comfort of knitted fabric with the added advantage of strength and durability. The gsm is around(>300). Fabric edges do not curl, unlike single knit fabrics.
