Synthetic fibers are often used instead of cotton because they tend to wear better and shrink less. Some common synthetic fibers used in fabrics are polyester, nylon, and acrylic.
In 1912, clothing was primarily made from natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, and silk. Cotton was commonly used for everyday garments due to its comfort and affordability, while wool was favored for colder weather. Linen, derived from flax, was popular for summer wear because of its breathability, and silk was often reserved for more luxurious garments and special occasions. Synthetic fibers were not yet widely used in fashion at this time.

The Cotton Gin dramatically changed life in the south, by impacting the lives of every cotton plantation owner, and in turn the whole economy of the south. The Cotton Gin is a machine used to separate cotton seeds from the fibers. This increased production dramatically, and suddenly it became much easier to grow and prepare bales of cotton. The faster production of cotton meant that more cotton could be grown, and in turn cotton became less expensive. More people could afford to switch their clothing from flax to cotton. Before cotton was only for the rich. Unfortunately, there was a downside to the start of the Industrial Revolution. More cotton grown meant that more slaves were needed to grow and harvest the cotton. This made it so that nearly one-third of all southerners were slaves.

Common materials used to make clothes include natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk, as well as synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and spandex. Cotton is popular for its softness and breathability, while wool is valued for warmth. Synthetic fibers are often used for their durability and stretch, making them ideal for activewear. Blends of these materials are also common, combining the benefits of both natural and synthetic fibers.
Velvet is not a fiber per-se. It is a type of cloth produced by a particular method of weaving on a special loom. It can be made for either natural or synthetic fibers. Natural fibers you might expect to find in velvet include cashmere wool, silk, and cotton. Synthetic fibers that have been substituted for these natural fibers usually can also be woven into velvet fabric.
The usual synthetics include rayon (a cellulose fiber) and polyester fabrics.
