Clothing, I don't know why. But ive always been intrigued how fabric moves, how it hangs, and the designs.
Another thing I find really neat. Is how steam engines work?

@HumanEarth I'm afraid my skill with textiles is little more than sewing on a button, but I appreciate that designing and making high-quality tailored clothes is a very highly-skilled trade.
I recall a clothes-designer talking about this, in a radio programme a few years ago, and mentioning such factors I'd never previously realised, including the direction of the weave in the finished garment, and the effect of damp (from perspiration) on the cloth's behaviour.
On the other hand I do understand steam-engines (and other heat-engines)!
