Tell me one thing. How would be the situation if I asked the museum
for close up photos of the fabric? I would do the design with help
of these pictures. The result would be the same. Maybe I will do
it, I will ask the museum for close up pictures for me to see the
original.
How on earth can you say which material I used in the end to
produce the design given to a commercial weaver?
Is there any copyright law regarding reproductions of extant
garments/textiles?

It's not copyright, but there are rights of ownership. If you
are looking to copy that exact textile, then you should be in touch
with the museum that owns it. If you are designing something inspired
by it and other textiles, that's a different matter.
Those writing books will buy originals or study in a museum,
with specific permission of how they may use their photographs of
museum objects.
