Do agree
What about the antibacterial properties of Nylon? And the fact it last far longer than polyester which would make it far more sustainable to use.
Thank you so much for making this video very helpful! 💞
Going on a backpacking trip around the UK in march, also a seamstress on the side. Making my own clothes to go out there in
I ordered my first sample last week and it came in yesterday. I wish I would have found your videos before ordering the sample! I've got a great polyester spandex mix athletic shirt, but after wearing it for a few hours IT STINKSSS. I had no idea that was something I had to consider haha.

Nylon will stay fresher for much longer because it's antibacterial. I conducted a lot of research into the old style nylon football and running shorts compared with polyester shorts, nylon came out on top with how many days you can wear the same shorts 5days+ v polyester which was 1 day
Informative! Would love to see a video about budgets to ensure before starting a clothing brand, in terms of like manufacturing for custom tee's, etc.

Is this the same material used in nylon rope (Lifting belts)??
Thanks for clarification 👍
Thanks for sharing. Would you be able to do a video explaining on how to use the combination of nylon & polyester material on color block style, such as windbreaker in order to avoid color bleeding on styles with high contrast color combination for example red with white. Much appreciated, thanks.
For gym t-shirts, should i buy nylon, polyester, cotton or lycra?
I don’t usually comment but this was really helpful, thanks.

Can someone please tell me how well abrasion resistance 600d polyster is. Many riding jackets & pants in India are made of 600d polyster with Invista cordura on shoulder, elbow, knee & shin area. I am aware Invista cordura is more abrasion resistance, but how much normal 600d polyster is at withstanding abrasion resistance.
Which one is better for jackets
You're doing a great job!!!

Nylon is prone to piling, polyester is resistant to it like he says in 3:00 -- the video graphics make a mistake and show the Nylon as Piling Resistant (even though he says himself in the video that Polyester is the one that is resistant to Piling).
Why they are not made kevlar or Dyneema, two bulletproof materials?
Thanks bro ❤

Is the polyester fabric is hot on the body when wearing it?

Greay video. Pilling, not piling.
Thanks for the informations. But what about smell? Polyesters are also more Lipophilic and „store“ sweat smell even after washing the clothes. Another aspect is the durability. When I buy a resistent pair of leggings I will pay less compared to buying a lot more often a pair of less durability and quality. Greetings.

Tanja Maria I think nylon feels better, smoother and more luxurious, but the problem is, thicker leggings are usually polyester. Nylon leggings are usually thinner and thus more see-through. Plus, I do like colors. I’d rather have a thicker opaque purple polyester pair than a thinner grey nylon pair.

Look up Spandex, which is a stretchy, supportive, lightweight fabric. Look here for additional information: www.rei.com/blog/run/how-to-pick-the-most-breathable-fabrics#:~:text=If%20you%20want%20clothing%20that's,more%20breathable%20than%20tight%20ones.
Would love to hear about both as thread in blends with cotton/wool/natural fibers. I rarely, if ever see nylon natural blend
Can you talking about stockings made from nylon it’s so thin and and breathable what type of nylon is this

Polyester because nylon is more isolating (for winter good)
@danielkutcher5704

Nylon, because it absorbs more water, acting like cotton when used in a lightweight fabric. It is also more durable when used in a very lightweight fabric. They both dry relatively quickly. Nylon is rarely found in a stretchy knit, wheres polyester is rarely found in a stiffer fabric, such as what might be found in windbreakers, aka windproof garments. This might help www.rei.com/blog/run/how-to-pick-the-most-breathable-fabrics#:~:text=If%20you%20want%20clothing%20that's,more%20breathable%20than%20tight%20ones. I used to work for them. This is not an endorsement.
How can I prevent piling on nylon fabric? Higher GSM? Tighter bindings? Any advice will help.

Nylon fabrics of identical weaves, are initially stronger than polyester, and absorb waterproof treatments more readily, too, but because it absorbs water more readily as well, making it heavier than wet, and becomes weak more quickly than polyester with exposure to sunlight, it is losing favor among outdoor enthusiasts as a fabric for tents and awnings. Most cottage industry manufacturers have good information on materials. Dutchware is one of my favorites.
Great Information. Great and Helpful stuff. Thank you so much..!!!

3:00 you make a mistake in the graphics -- you say that Polyester is Piling Resistant while you the graphics labels the Nylon as Piling Resistant -- from experience I know that Nylon is prone to piling and polyester is almost impervious to piling.
Polyester that look like cotton is final. Rayon already fin.
feeling better after knowing that polyester is water resistances

It still needs a coating to be completely waterproof. It absorbs less water than uncoated nylon, which act a lot like very thin cotton, or linen, when wet, but it will quickly soak through if not coated.
I never seen someone use there hands that much when they talk. It feels like your going to do like Trunks Burning Attack move.
Less hand movements sometimes better
