The DEVA co., (W) uses a contemporary version of 100% cotton?feed-sack for some of their shirts. There are at least 3 styles that are usable for re-inactors of the 18th and 19th time periods...especially if one has to wear such for every day events. I have used them for years...especially for theater...good looking but rugged.

Re: [h-cost] Fabric - was: Shirt pattern - SCA period - pre-1600
Hi, That's interesting. Hadn't thought about sacking of any sort, but that would fit. However, the original shirt that the kid loves was manufactured by someone purchasing large quantities, probably at wholesale. There were a lot of pieces made of this fabric at the vendor's booth. If I found the vendor, I'd be tempted to buy him another shirt, just because I know he'd like and wear it. However, I really don't want to spend over $50 for a shirt if I can help it. I'll have to try some new googles, based on sacking - see what comes up. Thanks for the hint.

Re: [h-cost] Fabric - was: Shirt pattern - SCA period - pre-1600
Hi Laurie, If you bought the original shirt from a vendor, and from I recall of RenFaire vendors, it's probably cotton gauze (is it crinkly?) I suggest just using a lightweight linen. It'll be similar in texture, and very nice to wear. I loves me linen shirts, shifts, smocks, pants, skirts, dresses, etc. Claudine - Original Message From: Laurie Taylor costume...@mazarineblue.com To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Sent: Sun, October 17, 2010 12:40:55 PM Subject: [h-cost] Fabric - was: Shirt pattern - SCA period - pre-1600 Hello, me again.

Re: [h-cost] Fabric - was: Shirt pattern - SCA period - pre-1600
Hi, In truth, I am almost completely confounded as to how to describe this fabric. It is interesting, maybe even yummy. I would not call it a crinkle at all, as it's not like any of the crinkles that I've ever seen. Yes, I may just go back to the neighborhood big-box fabric store and get some more of a quite decent linen that I found there. It softened up quite a bit, even after only a wash or two.

I know that the voiles will be way too light for this project, but it's so nice to see a cotton voile available for something substantially less than the $20+ that it costs to get it from Europe.
