Why is cotton the best fabric?
Cotton is not a fabric but a material. Fabrics made from cotton include denim, jersey, broadcloth, and canvas. While cotton may be the best fabric in some situations, it may be the worst in others. While cotton canvas used to be the best fabric for tents, now Goretex and other fabrics have long replaced it. Conversely, while canvas may have been be the bese fabric for tents, certainly tulle and chiffon would have been the worst fabrics for tents. An ecological advantage for cotton is that it is a natural material as opposed to synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester.
