suits are flimsy and need to be dry cleaned.

    Maybe you. I sweat a lot and if I'm wearing polyester, I stink so much even I can't bear it. I would need at least three suits a week and they would need to be cleaned each week. Tossing cheap cotton clothes into washer every week is much easier and I always wear zip-up hoodies when it's cold, so it's easier to thermoregulate.

    Please don't!
    If you sweat a lot, wearing polyester is the worst decision you can make!
    Not only it makes you sweat more, but it also smells really bad, as compared to wool or even cotton (or linen if you live in a hot area).
