I only really wear ponte for work, though, so I just don't pick up kitty after I've gotten dressed for the day, and clothes get hung up as soon as I get home in the evening and take them off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767830 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:24:22 +0000 Liz A. 1767830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I just take off any ponte pants I may be wearing as soon as I get home and put them in the closet, which theoretically my cat is not supposed to enter... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767795 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 16:06:44 +0000 Suz 1767795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cat does most of his shedding in summer, thank goodness, when I am wearing light fabrics that don't pick up as much lint.&nbsp;</p> <p>Even so, I often wear an extra sweater of cat fur. Ooops.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re ponte -- some seem impervious and some pick it up like crazy. There's a sort of super smooth version that sheds it pretty fast. These Halogen pants are made of it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767791 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:57:38 +0000 Anonymous 1767791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha. Yesterday, I looked at the back of my legs in bright sunlight after hopping off of a spin bike at the gym, and noticed lots of fluff and cat hair and at that exact moment , the woman behind me says : you clearly have a cat? &nbsp;Ugh. &nbsp;Yeah , ponte is as bad as workout tights &nbsp;- &nbsp;and worse than denim for sure. &nbsp;I keep forgetting to check myself before leaving the house - note to self to keep a lint roller in my car. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767786 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:48:30 +0000 LaPed 1767786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I have a tri-colored Australian Shepherd. His fur stands out no matter what color I'm wearing! Tweeds and heathered greys are where it's at. ;)</p> <p>His fur is long and coarse, though, so it doesn't stick to <b>everything</b> the way cat hair does. I can wear linen, most cotton twill and canvas, any gearish fabric except polar fleece, a fair amount of wool wovens as long as they don't contain polyester, etc without too much trouble. I prefer the look and feel of the more "slick" ponte anyway. Maybe I'll give it a go!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767779 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:35:13 +0000 Anonymous 1767779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to avoid polyester for this reason, but have multiple lint rollers in various places at the ready.&nbsp; Our fuzzy dog is black and white so I'm doomed.&nbsp; Ponte with a smooth, tight&nbsp;finish is the least likely to trap pet hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767777 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:24:21 +0000 carter 1767777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me...worse than cotton, denim, gear-type leggings, but better than corduroy, linen, anything with a more textural (less fine) weave. Ponte pants (and pets!) are so worth it though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767776 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:22:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1767776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I have to lint roll everything I own- especially of its black. I don't think my ponte stuff is any worse than my other blacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767775 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:21:59 +0000 Meredith 1767775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, ponte performs better than black denim and wool, but worse than performance/athletic leggings. My pets are not heavy shedders, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ponte-and-pet-hair#post-1767774 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:19:13 +0000 LaPed 1767774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't own anything made of ponte di roma, but in my never-ending quest for black ankle pants I've run across lots of it. My greatest hesitation is that I will have to lint roll it every time I wear it. For those of you who own dogs/cats/other furry critters, do you find ponte better, worse, or about the same as other materials in terms of pet hair magnetism? </p>
