I keep seeing ads claiming viscose is this uniquely cooling and breathable wonder-fabric and its making me a bit crazy like i know ads lie i know this and yet this feels like the worlds longest unfunniest prank

Like sure i guess that viscose-elastane pajama shirt would be cooler to sleep in than a fully synthetic material but thats not exactly the claim being made

And never any mention of the other qualities of the fabric like sometimes they mention weight but never what kind of weave/knit and so on

I think it bothers me more than other marketing bullshit because i actually do run very hot and also sensory issues so im hyper aware of the feel and breathability of fabrics

#viscose is very variable with feel though im not fond of it outside of like #specific blended fibres #i think feel is a very personal thing and you kind of have to just touch a lot of fabrics #but for breathability i dont think viscose is any better than cotton or linen #and it makes more sense to me to look at the weight and construction of the fabric #i do feel a good linen trumps all though like if i had the money i would live in linens #but some of that is due to other qualities like durability and also just texture preference
