Polyester became popular in the 1970s due to its ability to be manufactured quickly and cheaply, and the fabric doesn’t wrinkle. It’s easy to wash, lightweight and strong. It was invented in the 1940s, but took off in the 1970s due to strong advertising around those in the working world as easy and durable, unlike handmade or manufactured cotton garments from the eras before.
