Trust Your Hand: Fabric Secrets from a the Fabric Professor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We had a special guest — Greg (aka The Professor) — breaking down the truth about fabric, yarns, blends & stretch👀
We talked:
• Poly vs cotton and why blends matter
• Recycled poly that used to take 97 years to break down… now closer to 3 years
• Why 98% cotton / 2% stretch actually gives way more stretch than you think (closer to 15%)
• How athleisure changed the way garments are made
• Elastic, spandex & why fabric tech has come a LONG way
Greg’s final advice?
Trust your hand. If it feels good… buy it.
Because sometimes there really is better living through chemistry 🧪
If you love learning how clothes REALLY work behind the scenes, this episode is a must.
