Which fiber blend is most durable?
There is no most durable blend. A polyester-cotton twill can resist abrasion in workwear and feel wrong in a soft shirt. A wool blend can recover creases and still pill. Durability means the failure you care about: rub, tear, or stretch loss. Name that failure, then compare cloths. FabStitch will not award a winner.
- Name the failure mode.
- Construction beats the blend slogan.
- Test the lot if the order is large.
