Hi, do these have a sheen to them? I see the "matte" reference, but not sure how polyester they feel. Thanks for any input.

No sheen to them. Matte is accurate. I bought them to use at church for dinners and events where stains would not show. They look nice and are of good quality.

A slight sheen but look matte. I use them for jewelry shows and they look very classy.

They are more like regular restaurant table cloths, but with a slight sheen to them. They are not like the satin cloths. I have the black and they look good.

I'm not sure, but they feel like fabric softener sheets, only thicker. No unpleasant odor from the sheets or the solution and easy to work with. Hope this helps.

They are light, (cant really feel you have them on) but they do not look or feel natural (plasticky feel). You really gotta play with them to loosen them up a bit because they are really stiff. But for the price, you really cant complain. Also it has some funky glue on it. id recommend taking it off before adding your own glue.

They are clear with a shiny/gloss to them. No cloudiness that I can detect. Whatever I put in them is seen clearly.

No, these are really substantial feeling. I have also had the others that you described, these have much more quality. I hope it helps:-)

Definitely not shiny like satin (very little if any sheen). Basically, a matte look with smooth feel...without the roughness of linen material. I suppose with lots of starch and ironing could be much stiffer for a extra crisp and less flowy look. Final assessment..sheen level 2 out of 10 and matte level 8 of of 10.

Well, I can say this (because I've had them for a couple months now) it doesn't wash like cotton. It washes like micro-fiber and feels like it. IF it is cotton I'm confused. /shrug

Some have shimmer to them. But not actual glitter. It seems like half are matte and half have a shimmer to them.

They do have a shine too them. I would not call them a matte finish. I compared them to my MIKASA Italian Countryside and they have about the same shine. If I had to say... Thomson is a tiny tiny bit more. But I had to really look. Hope this helps

Yes, they are shiny. Does not look fake/tacky. I get compliments on it all the time

It doesn't indicate on the package what they are made of. However, they feel somewhat slippery, so I would guess they are a cotton/something synthetic blend. (I checked the package but it doesn't say anything.)

Yeah, they're matte. However they have some that aren't. Just look for the ones that say 'clear'.

I just checked mine and the tag reads 100% polyester. I don't know why they advertise as a cotton/poly blend. I like them just fine. I'm just using them for home.

They feel like heavy weight cotton, similar to a lightweight denim. I have mine outside on my patio and they really look nice. As a side note, I found the same pillow in a catalog last week for $12 more than Amazon.

It was several years ago that I ordered these. Yes, they were a little shiny. The fabric is very lightweight....not like a "goretex" that you see in an expensive snow mobile suit, more like a windbreaker fabric over a thick lining. Hope this helps.

Wool makes me itch-and these don't make me itch, so I don't think there is wool in them. It says the fibers are polypropylene with silver...no idea what that means. But they are really comfortable.
