@Hawaii_Jake I worked in retail for years. I was a manager, buyer, worked for some of the vendors, Calvin Klein, Mondo (before they went out of business)...rayon shrinks like crazy, it is a pain to take care of. Some lesser qualities you have to worry about it getting wet, because of how it can wrinkle. Something casual and comfortable I want to be able to throw in the washer and dryer. I’m tired of things shrinking because I was not careful and the thing had rayon in it. If you want to be careful or dry clean all the time go ahead. In the industry there is an argument over whether rayon is a natural fiber or not; not that it really matters to me either way. Rayon was a less expensive alternative to cotton, I would be pretty sure that is why it first became popular. There are some positive things about rayon, the brightness of color it holds, and the cheaper price. Indeed Hawaiian shirts, sundresses, and several other garments increasingly have been made from rayon. I have a hard time believing Armani, Canali, or Chanel have started using it though. I hope not. It has been accused of destroying rainforrest I think? Not sure about the info on that. It is made from wood pulp.
