Got it.
Plastic clothes (polyesther) are basically inescapable now as well, and a huge source of microplastics.
It was really depressing when I found that Pendleton, literally THE wool store, is mostly dealing in poly-wool blends now. That completely defeats the purpose of the wool?? A breathable fabric that stays warm when wet for winter, but can also keep you cool in summer? Yeah, let's just shove some plastic in there. Fucking capitalist brain-rot of these companies, man.
EDIT: I wanted to chime back in and correct myself. Good news everyone, Pendleton's clothes seem to be mostly all either wool or cotton again! I don't know what was going on when I looked like a year ago, but they seem to have fixed their fuckery. I've never been happier to be wrong.
