Nylon, cotton or linen

Three fibres run the MOOSLOVER catalogue: nylon in 23 listings, cotton leading 10, and linen blended into 5. Each yarn brings a specific trade. Knowing what they fail at saves you from buying the wrong piece for hot weather.

Nylon locks tight and traps heat

Twenty listings print a nylon percentage, from 69 to 94 percent, with spandex filling the balance. Three more say nylon and spandex and give no numbers at all. They form the leggings, workout sets and swimwear. The yarn dries fast. It holds its tension across hours of wear and snaps back after a wash. The downside is ventilation. Nylon holds body heat against your skin. A thick seamless set will feel stifling on an August afternoon. One ribbed seamless romper requires hand wash only, while the rest go into the washing machine.

Cotton breathes and loses its shape

Cotton builds the lounge pieces. MOOSLOVER uses 80 to 95 percent cotton for sweatpants, barrel legs and bubble pants. Other pieces use an air layer knit mixed at roughly 50 percent cotton, 45 percent polyester and 5 percent spandex. Cotton pulls sweat away from you and feels dry in direct heat. It also softens up. By evening, heavy cotton pants bag at the knees and the seat. They trade structural snap for skin comfort, which makes them poor gym pieces.

Linen comes blended and risks shrinkage

Linen never appears alone here. Pure linen wrinkles too fast and costs too much to weave for lounge sets. The trousers use 30 percent linen, 45 percent viscose, 10 percent cotton and 15 percent polyester. The two piece sets drop lower to 15 percent linen, 35 percent rayon and 50 percent polyester. These blends stay cool. They also crease the moment you sit down. Exactly 4 linen listings warn you to machine wash cold and air dry because heat ruins the weave.

The small runs of lyocell and knitwear

The rest of the rack covers niche yarns. Two lounge sets use 93 percent lyocell with spandex. Lyocell falls heavy and feels cool, but it shows water marks until it dries completely. One piece is an acrylic knit cardigan, and two bikini sets are polyester rather than nylon. Care tags across the 45 listings are duller than the fabrics: 36 say nothing beyond machine wash, five ask you to air dry, one adds tumble dry low, one ribbed romper demands a hand wash in a sink, and one listing prints no care line at all.

45 models, 90 color variants

Each page carries the fabric percentages, the closure, the wash line and the maker chart for that listing alone.
