It's a short article describing the strange materials people are experimenting with to make clothing. There is mushrooms, pineapple, PVC, and others. It's light on details (maybe there are other better articles with more technical information), but I thought it was interesting and worth sharing and discussing.

Make quality clothing and people ought to keep wearing it for years.
This is the real answer. Quit making mountains of trash (shoddy goods like "fast fashion" clothing) and quit being a consumerist dolt who keeps feeding the machine by buying and tossing on the regular. But really the goods have to be quality/mendable in the first place for you to keep them. Thick cotton is great for this. Synthetic fibers wear out quickly. (They fuzz, get runs, etc. in short order.)
