AnyBody- Now Polyester

shopfla2468 — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 10:44:29 GMT

These joggers were first constructed in all cotton and they were so very comfortable and were set apart from all the cheap polyester that's out there. Then they changed to cotton blend. I tried them and they were just okay. They had that polyester sheen to them that cheapened them, and made them less comfy in the heat of summer. Now they are are all polyester with a little spandex. Hardly a lush fabric. So sad that I can no longer buy quality cotton pants from AnyBody. Just hoping they see this post and reconsider their decision to use cheap polyester in the future.

I just wrote something similar in a different thread. They changed the fabric content from what made them so fabulous.

I have a different style of Anybody joggers and I love them (A398623). The fabric content I have is 57% cotton/38% modal/5% spandex -- and it's fabulous!

This TSV, however, has a fabric content of 92% polyester/8% spandex. I don't like any of the prints, not even to wear only indoors. The colors are a total miss for me. I much prefer olive, indigo, and dusty blues, etc. I already the ubiquitous black, navy, and my favorite smokey taupe.

Speaking of taupe, the TSV color looks like a lighter shade than their original smokey taupe shade (even though the TSV presentation said it is the same color). I think it's the difference in material and how the color can change depending on the fabric. I like the richer shade of smokey taupe much better.

This entire TSV is a No for me.

I looked at these and then saw the poly and thought --- no way!

I also do NOT care for pajamas which are the jogger type or have the band at the bottom. It seems like practically all full length pajamas are like this any more!

I used to be able to find such nice comfortable p.j.s that were a cotton blend --- sort of like a t-shirt material. They were so soft and breathable! Now, everything practically is that miserable poly and kind of knit stuff. It makes me so hot and I feet it does not breathe!!! I can't stand it!

Why no cotton any more? I guess it is cheaper to make the poly garbage!

Most of my p.j.s that I currently have are getting very worn but I can't replace them. If I do happen to see a pair on line that might work, they are so darn expensive!

I just like basic p.j.s! Long sleeve tops, full length bottom, no joggers -- cotton t-shirt material. Very basic. Not costing an arm and a leg. Who would think it would be so hard?????

@shopfla2468 They were never made in all cotton. They were a combo of cotton, modal and spandex. Those original joggers are still available, these are just a different fabrication

I don't wear polyester. I prefer cotton and rarely wear anything else. There is a lot of no-iron cotton available. Polyester, for me, is like wearing a plastic bag.

Those joggers are the hottest things you can wear. I don't know how anyone can wear them in summer. It's like wrapping yourself in Saran Wrap.

The original joggers in the 58% cotton, 38% modal and 4% span are called COZY KNIT joggers. LOVE them. So soft and comfortable for home.

I'm buying them because my older Anybody joggers are showing their age since I wear them constantly in cooler weather. I don't wear them in summer, so that's not an issue for me. Not crazy about the colors or patterns so ordered the black set.

Cheap fabric.

Barefoot Dreams, very high end, much ballyhooed line on QVC is now almost all polyester.

Polyester everywhere, not just Susan Graver anymore.

Very dissapointed they are all polyester. I don't mind a blend but these will be too hot and probably not as comfortable as previous versions. I hope they change it back going forward.

I don't like cotton or polyster. I love my anybody pants that have a modal blend. I ordered the TSV, I hope I can wear them in the winter.

Don’t buy polyester. They are cheap, bad for the environment and makes people look bad. Don’t buy!
