Smooth or stripey textured, tightly woven cottons (sateen, woven stripes), Cotton and silk lightweight sheer fabrics. Viscose/silk/rayon linings and satins. Chunky cotton crochet.
silk velvet burnout fabrics.
I like the texture of real leather, but I don't wear it or buy it due to my hatred of the industry. Anything leather that I have is second hand or ethically sourced.

The worst fabrics are polyesters, wools, and nylons. Most fabrics that have any lurex or metallic glimmer bring me out in a hot itchy burn, I've even had fabrics that had nothing like that in the description, but turned out to itch like mad and had a slight metallic shimmer in the sun.
It was incredibly frustrating a few years ago as nearly every item that I liked in the shops seemed to have something in them that I could not wear, the sparkle was so fashionable it was even put into most basics.

Cotton and whatever manages not to annoy me.

Dear clothing manufacturers, would you please stop putting far too much polyester in your cotton/polyester blends? It's scratchy and irksome. Thanks.

Also it's terribly sweaty stuff.
I would agree with this appeal.

70-100% cotton.

Cannot cope with wool or anything scratchy.

Also detest jeans.

Ah, yes... I remember the pair of wide-leg corduroy pants I had in 4th Grade. I could pet them for hours.

Cotton and only cotton. No blend less than 75%. I seriously refuse to wear anything else. I actually like 100% cotton, especially in t-shirts, because I am scrawny and a size small in guys is still too baggy, I like my clothes to be "fitted" but not clinging. So I wash every new shirt on hot three or four times before I wear it. My usual outfit is a very well washed and worn t-shirt and my jorts that are more holes than pants at this point.

Silk, leather and 100% cotton (sounds like a good weekend). Had to get used to wearing any material but can't go without my heavy silk jacket I wear around the house.

This!

I actually have 3 pairs of corduroy pants that I wear fairly regularly.

I myself am allergic to polyester so I have to avoid that, even in my pillows.

Mmmhhh... I wish there was some kind of Aspie shop with clothes that are both pretty and also warm and soft and natural and everything. It seems we have pretty similar preferences. I'd love to have much more clothes like that. Isn't there any designer on WP who wants to open a new business? :D
