It all depends on the blend, and how it feels to my fingers.</p> <p>Sadly, I cannot wear wool, although I love love love the look of it. It makes me break out in hives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overcoming-a-fabric-skeeve#post-413601 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:07:35 +0000 Freckles 413601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket, hope it passes the test.</p> <p>I'm not sure I have any fabric skeeves, may just prefer other fabrics more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overcoming-a-fabric-skeeve#post-413555 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:11:56 +0000 Jenava 413555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I absolutely will not consider is acrylic knits. I also don't like felted fabrics that have high polyester content because they feel greasy to me, rather than soft and luxurious like when they are all natural fiber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overcoming-a-fabric-skeeve#post-413525 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:31:01 +0000 catgirl 413525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am skeevy about cheap acrylic knits. *shudder* Also not a big fan of that woven linen that looks like burlap. Or actual burlap. Some wool can give me itchies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overcoming-a-fabric-skeeve#post-413523 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:27:33 +0000 Mo 413523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I HATE nylon ski type jackets. They give static to my hair with every swish and sway. Knots, flyaways - it's terrible. Same thing with certain acrylic sweaters, but I'm swearing off them now that I know the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overcoming-a-fabric-skeeve#post-413487 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:45:47 +0000 ironkurtin 413487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did it. I purchased a non-ski jacket made out of manmade fibers. This is a huge leap for me, because I loathe artificial fabrics - micromodal, polyester, even blends. They don't feel nice to me (too slippery), and I don't like the way they drape. And spandex out here in the death heat is 100% a no. If it doesn't breathe, I don't wear it. </p> <p>But - I love jackets that look like a denim jacket but aren't, so I took the plunge. Mister Wang did not disappoint in stye, plus it's a robust fabric with a slightly textured hand. Nothing too smooth or slick. Hurrah! Now comes the test, once it dips below 110 degrees here - how does it look with layers over and under? Stay posted. I know I am.<br /> <a href="http://www.theoutnet.com/product/214151?cm_mmc=ProductSearch-_-US-_-Jackets-_-Jersey" rel="nofollow">http://www.theoutnet.com/produ.....s-_-Jersey</a></p> <p>Am I the only one with these kinds of fabric skeeves? </p>
