Trying to have a cleaner closet and wondering about the difference between some fibers. Ive listened to a few podcasts and have the basic understanding down that polyester/nylon for example is bad not only because how toxic the production process is but also how toxic it is to wear/wash. I live and work in a warm environment so breathability is very important to me and I want to be conscious about what I put on my body. But I’m wondering if organic and tencel is really necessary if I’m buying second hand…since I’m not supporting the production of it, just rehoming it. Or should I still be shopping for trusted brands even when thrifting rather relying on companies being truthful about what fiber they used? I also heard that some chemicals can be washed out over time so although a thrifted 100% cotton shirt might have been made using a toxic process, it’s not necessarily toxic to wear anymore??
