What are the pros of Polyester?
Aside from being cheap/cost saving, what practical reason would I want a Polyester garment over another fiber? For example, I see items like so:

I like the silhouette, I stan the fuck out of Yohji, but the 50% polyester composition just makes me wary. I understand Ground Y is a "budget" line, but is the Poly literally just for cost cutting? Or is there some meaning behind the choice? It's one of my blind spots as a fashion guy, TBH, never really understood why Polyester is bad aside from its reputation.
