Commodore Swab Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am getting ready to have some clothes made and will probably need to come up with my own fabric. The clothes should be befitting someone of a governors status so very very nice. Any advice on where or what material I should be looking at? Currently I am thinking about a heavy possibly Thai silk in a single color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 remember you'r region mate. That stuff might get hot. i have a light raw silk weskit and it is wonderful to wear. a high thread count linen would look nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendobyns Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Fine wool would be appropriate. It is available in a variety of weights. Check out the options with Burnley and Trowbridge. I bought a fine camlet from them that is combination silk, wool and linen, light as a feather, combining properties of all three. But they have other nice things, including silks. You will probably want a fine lace (tape trim) for things like edges of pocket flaps, button holes and such, if you don't have it embroidered. They can help direct you to what you need if they don't have it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
