> Clothing is mostly plastic fibre nowadays.

I think that's true primarily for athleisure. That being said, it's a very large segment of the market. I was recently in Banana Republic and it was quite hard to find a pair of pants one would want to wear outside of the house.

"I think that's true primarily for athleisure."

It is not. Go into any Walmart (and I bring up Walmart because that is where most people shop who are just going about their daily lives) and try to find clothing with no petroleum based material in it.

And then try to look on Amazon. Most of the clothing sold there you cannot even find the material list for the product. It will say "cotton" but it is usually only the major material, not 100% cotton.

Here is a good example: https://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Loom-Cotton-100-Sleeve/dp/B001C...

100% cotton preshrunk jersey but...????? Ash is 98/2 cotton/poly Athletic Heather is 90/10 cotton/poly Black Heather, Neon Green, Neon Pink, Safety (Green, Orange) - 50/50 cotton/poly

And then it's Amazon, so you have shipping and every other climate destroying feature of that distribution system.

>clothing with no petroleum based material in it.

That's a far cry from the claim "Clothing is mostly plastic fibre". Having 5%-20% polyester is not the same as being "mostly plastic".

The person you're replying to said that clothing marketed as cotton is 5-20% polyester.

Which annoys me as well… yoga pants aren’t meant to be normal attire.
