What is polyester?
What is polyester?Polyester is a synthetic (petroleum-based) fiber with a high-strength, excellent resiliency, high abrasion resistance, and low absorbency (so the fibers dry quickly). It is smooth and lightweight and resistant to creasing, stretching, shrinking and mildew. Polyester washes well and is not damaged by sun or weather. It can be difficult to remove stains from polyester and it does not breathe as well as fabrics made from natural fibers, such as hemp, cotton and linen.

Our Customers Say ...

  • "Customer service is exceptional and very attentive. I was updated on all parts of the ordering process via email messages. Plus, I had chosen a faster, more expensive shipping method (UPS 3 day), but they wrote and told me it was faster and cheaper to send via UPS Ground because of my location. Highly recommend this store and will definitely shop here again!"
