Here are other hats (recreators), also plumed. But the one I saw was
a tricorn.

shop there, and to educate the owner on your needs. Meanwhile, keep
hectoring whatever stores do sell fabric, to keep on selling it, and
to stock the kind of fabric you actually want.

The neat thing is that when we visited the Cerratelli Foundation (enormous
costume warehouse between Florence and Pisa) we saw the actual gown Taylor
wore in the beginning of the movie. The same one she wore when she jumped
into the wool as well as some of the Romeo and Juliet costumes :)
Were you looking at the Silk Baron's sight? When I talked to him last week,
he said that his velvet was silk pile with viscose backing. Since I prefer
the sturdiness of cotton velveteen, I don't know a lot about silk velvet.

what we called the wool factory on Sunday afternoons as a kid to spend
hours
leaping from the rafters into gigantic vats of shorn wool.
Sounds like the scene from Taming of the Shrew where Liz Taylor did the
same.
