70s Leisure Suits were polyester. Melts like plastic.
Rayon doesn't melts. It burns and almost virtually disappears leaving just a bit of light colored ash. Reminiscent of rice paper cigarette papers. The smell is clean, not unpleasant woody smell.
Rayon is made of wood or other plant pulp. Polyester is a polymer. ..a plastic.
I believe that because the rayon name was coined by the chemical processing industry many associate it synonymous with a plastic.
