A look at Man-Made fabrics

The most popular and the one that gets a bad rap is polyester.
Polyester doesn't wrinkle or fade, and it seems to last forever.
Polyester is often blended with cotton to produce a longer, lasting
garment that wrinkles less.
Nylon is the second most popular of the man-made fibers. It was
invented by DuPont Corporation in 1939 presumably becasse Lammot DuPont
himself got caught on the golf course wearing cotton when it started to
rain. Today it's use in many apparel items and is popular for its
resistance to moisture and wrinkles, and unending durability.
