Later when the colorful versions were popularly made to sell to the tourists in the early and middle part of the 20th century, it was Rayon otherwise known as "artificial silk" that was the expected norm. This artificial silk, unlike polyester, is breathable and elegant to wear. Try one and you'll know the difference. Having said that I have as many cotton Hawaiians as Rayon as I won't pass up a cool print just because it is cotton (I will though if it is 100% polyester)! :P On 2004-03-06 10:03, sungod wrote: Let's face it.
