Polyester Cotton
The correct term should be polyester and cotton. The two fibres are mixed in varying percentages according to the weight and type of fabric produced. Polyester and cotton mixtures can be made into any weight of fabric from Coile to Gabardine. The advantage over 100 % cotton is that the polyester reduces creasing and provides good draping qualities. It also makes the fabric even more hardwearing. It may be plain or printed or woven in patterns. During washing dirt comes out easily.

Stretch
Trade name for a two-way stretch spandex fibre. It has remarkable elasticity and instant recovery. It is very strong and withstands repeated wash and wear. It has a high resistance to abrasion, but its low absorbency enables articles to dry quickly. Fabrics have a neat, flat appearance. The fibre is resistant to perspiration and is nit affected by seawater. It is mixed with other fibres, only a small percentage required to provide the necessary stretch, recovery and holding power. Used for foundation garments, tights, sport and exercise wear, swimwear and narrow stretch fabrics.
