remove some of the fullness at the cuffs also, it's hard to tell from

De: Going by memory, I believe that someone on the Italian list that i am on

cotton
The main wool swatch set I know of is in the book All About Wool : Fabric
Dictionary and Swatchbook. It is a bit pricey, which is why I've not picked up
a
copy yet.
I've also received some nice wool swatches from Wm Booth, Draper, which they
can
