Compared
to the other three popular lining materials, polyester is the least
expensive, strongest and most durable. Some polyester is treated for
extra-soft and anti-static properties to improve comfort. It’s also
resistant to stain, wind, water, stretching, and shrinking, used for
insulation. As textile technology advances polyester fabrics are
gradually losing their bad reputation.
The Linings Feel and Texture
They do this so you don’t feel the wool next to your skin, which is itchy for a lot of people.
Even
wool scarves and socks are itchy unless the weather is freezing. If
it’s cold enough outdoors, the wool doesn’t feel as bad as it might feel
in a warmer environment.
The reason for using polyester rather than say, silk is easy enough to understand.
#1 - People aren’t typically looking at the lining of someone’s coat.
#2 - Today’s polyester is typically a better quality than it was in the past.
#3 - The use of polyester keeps the costs down. If silk was used as a liner instead, the cost of the wool coat would skyrocket.
Lining interaction with the skin
The
poly jacket lining makes it easier to slip your arms in and out of the sleeves
where otherwise the unlined wool sleeves would interact with your shirt
sleeves and bind and your arms would not slide in easily.
Additionally the lining prevents skin contact with the wool which can cause roughness and itchiness, which nobody wants.
There
is nothing inherently wrong with polyester lining. Some expensive coats
and suits use cupro (Bemberg) which is rayon. Manmade like polyester.
Conclusion
As
others have said, wool needs to be lined, not just to make it more
comfortable, but to help it hold its shape. A polyester is a good choice
for a lining: it slides on easier than most cottons, doesn’t stretch,
and is reasonably priced. It also won’t shrink with cleaning. It will
also last as long as the wool, better than silk will. I have seen many
vintage and older pieces where the silk lining was in tatters.
