Frequently Asked Questions

Is polyester fabric breathable?

Standard polyester is less breathable than cotton. For breathable options, consider our poly cotton broadcloth which blends polyester with cotton for added comfort.

Can I use polyester fabric outdoors?

Yes. Polyester resists UV fading, moisture, and mildew better than most natural fibers, making it suitable for outdoor cushion covers, banners, and light outdoor use.
