Chen Er-nan, a planner / designer at Hong Jian Industries, which accounts for half of the domestic market in man-made polyesters, says that natural silk is colder to the touch, that it is more rough and textured when rubbed, and that real silk lets air pass through, making it more comfortable to wear. Fake silk is warmer, and tends to be more smooth and shiny.
在國內人造纖維市場佔有率達一半的宏遠興業的設計企劃陳爾南表示，天然真絲的手感較冷，揉搓時較澀，而且蠶絲透氣，穿來十分舒適；仿絲則溫溫的，偏滑膩。
