It's plastic.
You put it in the dryer, it's toasted plastic. Then you wear it 24/7..

Anything is. You know that.
But polyester is pretty inert.

basically the best fabric for silkscreening clothes

Without a doubt. I doubt that actual silk has been used for screens in decades.

I never wear polyester. It doesn’t breath correctly and most of the time is looks cheap. Only wool/cotton/leather.
And silk ties of cause.
Also Synthetic fibers are highly flammable so I don’t wear them to work for that reason alone. My white coat is cotton, so are my shirts. Pants are cotton or wool.

Yesterday I went to the prom, and I didn't wear a tie. Ties look stupid on me and I much prefer just a shirt and a jacket.
My father has a wool suit and it is quite expensive

Most suits are traditionally made of pure wool, modern ones often of a poly-wool blend (would avoid). The tie-less look is unfortunately very common these days. I personally couldn't possibly wear a jacket without a tie. If it is too hot to wear a tie, I would drop the jacket altogether.
People who think ties don’t look good on them often wear ill-fitting suits or shirts. The choice of the right collar for your face shape is also important. I for example avoid shark collars. But my preferred style of suit is from the 1950s, so what I wear is mostly very traditional, but not too formal. I tend to combine rough-wool or tweed wool jackets with slacks, and only rarely wear matching 2-piece suits. This style is less formal and more versatile.

Any suit worth wearing is quite expensive- the cheap ones look like garbage! And if you've got a non-standard body shape, you pretty much have to go custom. So bloody glad that I don't have reasons to own suits anymore... even if they fit well, they are really not that comfortable.
I wear polyester all the time- still doesn't seem to be anything better than it when it comes to sports clothing.

I am so going to watch that.
Reading the Wikipedia article, my first thought was "ultra durable white fabric that doesn't take dye? he's invented Spectra!" (well, before the radioactive part).
Edit: The class of fabrics that Spectra came from came out around the same time as the film, too.

Since the style of suit I prefer is not considered modern, I get my jackets and pants very affordably second hand. The quality of vintage suits is often very good. High quality cotton dress shirts are also a lot less expensive second-hand then one might think, and often times they were only worn once or twice by the seller anyway.
The style I wear is more loosely cut then contemporary fashion, and therefore quite conformable to wear over long periods. This might have been a consideration back in the day as well, when the suit was still a uniform and worn all-day.

I hate polyester for its crappy texture and ba breathability. I wear only cotton.
Not toxic, however.

I don't like to think how much polyester fuzz that gets washed into the ocean from washing machines.

Bottleneck is cotton underwear, it sticks to you in the summer.

I like several fabrics for clothes in general, but would not consider anything but cotton for underwear.

There's an alternative to that which would allow for that sticking issue not to be a problem and air to circulate properly.
I tend to stick w/ Boxer Briefs for comfort and support.

Cotton boxers will still stick when you get swamp butt during summer. Polyester is the only kind that breaths gud' enuff.

What do a tight pair of pants and a cheap hotel have in common?

I had to Google it.

You just need a sexy pair of panties to hug all your curves softly. Thongs are perfect for catching that errant butt sweat during Summer months!

The answer is obvious- go commando.
