Many things old money people like seem tacky to me. Old wine, opera. Significance seems inversely proportionate to workmanship in my head.

how do you feel about natural vs. synthetic fibers for clothes?

depends on use case. Wicking microfiber for gym. Poly-cotton for pants, Cotton for shirts if not humid. I'm utilitarian.

Veblen leisure class prefer natural fibers, but I am not religious. Plastics ftw, as the guy in The Graduate said.

the values of wool, silk, linen, hemp, yak etc. vs. cotton/synthetic seem like a similar dichotomy (I like both)
