Can we all play this game? If I"m being historically correct, I use whatever the original garment(s) had inside. That's usually linen for the 16th-17th c. Linen against a linen shirt can drag & twist in wearing. It also can get pretty bulky as seams meet up. If I'm feeling less fussy, I go for the silk taffeta or a heavy habotai. Mostly I use scraps from previous projects. I've not done a 19th coat in a long time, but when I do, it's silk or raw silk for a lining. On a vaguely related non-wool topic: The 1920s Spectator Coat (Folkwear) that I'm doing with the 1922 Nefertiti silk brocade will have a red slipper satin lining. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
