My understanding of the Shatnez is based on research by Phil Callahan and from private correspondence, which included copies of his pathology reports on his health.
A Shatnez is a Paramagnetic/ Diamagnetic resonator. Lost you already? It was originally a vest like garment made from a natural fibre capable of holding moisture, saturated with water with an electrolyte. Probably hemp or linen. But one can use hessian or burlap - "sugar bag" "chaff bag" what ever. The Rabbi's of Biblical times wore the garment for protection when working with the sick. The electrolyte can be sweat or sea salt and water (never table salt). It is better if wood ash is included in the water. I use a mixture of several Australian hardwoods and some fruit woods. I prepare the ash, taking care to see nothing else is mixed and usually use the heat to burn peppers at the same time. The original garment was re wet when it dried out. Phil had his wife make his to fit, then covered it with "Glad Wrap", " Cling Wrap" what ever you local product is. I found that the Shatnez has a sizeable force field and felt it did not need to be huge. I make mine to fit in Press Seal plastic bags, different sizes for different applications. I use two layers of hessian, edge stitch with over locker and make a St George Cross and a St Andrews Cross with the sewing machine, (looks a bit like a Union Jack!), which holds it all nice and flat. I soak it for three hours in sea salt and ash, with some added super fine highly paramagnetic rock dust (<70micron). I then drain and put in the press seal bag while still very wet. They will stand at least a year of use, without rewetting. (Best Shatnez to date!!). I also make neat little "pillow cases" out of polly cotton, to cover the plastic bag. I supply a spare, so one can be in the wash while the other is in use. In some cases, a "pillow case" can be tacked inside a garment and left there during washing (with the Shatnez removed). I had a vertebra collapse and was in huge pain and was threatened with spinal fusion etc. I wore a small shatnez day and night, while taking super fine agricultural dolomite and the same of paramagnetic rock dust. From being wedge shaped and displacing the ones each side, it now, two years later, can not be picked in the X-Ray I had last week. The Shatnez acts as both antenna and resonator, attracting healing energy and converting it to the required frequency. Read Phil Callahan's work for what frequencies, most of my understanding is based on Phil's work and that of several others working on his line, here in Oz. I have many stories of people getting great help from mine. Does that help? If you make them and use them, I would be interested in feed back on how you get on with them. I should publish on them and could do with some other peoples experiences to get a larger range of situations.
