That's a really good point. It's unfortunate that polyester tends to be the go-to cheap option for clothes
I just hope we can swap them out for hemp ASAP.. I really want to get to the point where hemp is only a few bucks more and an elimination of corn subsidies along with a virgin plastics tariff could go a long way
You can find cotton really cheaply as well! You just have to look a bit harder for it
There's so much clothing already made that, with the exception of underwear or socks, you could assemble a large and diverse wardrobe of good quality plant fiber clothes entirely from 2nd hand clothing bought for as cheap or cheaper than you'd find new polyester stuff. Thrift shops, Vinted, Ebay, Poshmark etc have tons of good stuff for cheaper than retail.
