Burlap is made from the jute plant.

And silk usually comes from the Mulberry silk worm.

Oh, you're trying to be funny. Got it.

No burlap is similar to rope. The same type rope I use at the ranch. Their material is made by mother nature.

Too end this: My shirts are very well made, and comfortable. Nary a problem with a one. If they were as turrbull (Charles Barkley) as said, I wouldn't have always purchased the shirts. Unless something has changed over the years, I have no idea what the fuss from some is all about.
