  Richard H. asked:

  Hey errrbuddy. Two things! 1) Archery will again be cancelled due to Easter Sunday this weekend. and 2) Does anyone know a good place to order, or a place close enough to town to drive to, for wool what would be good for making a coat out of. Thanks!

  

  Charlotte J. replied:

  Seconding Colorado Fabrics in Denver. They have some deals, and they have some very high quality full priced stuff. For high quality reenactor stuff, also see: http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/

  Chris S. asked:

  Where is the best place online to get a deal on 100% wool fabric? Bonus points if there are also lots of colors to choose from.

  

  Rebecca G. replied:

  http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com is good. Fabric Mart Fabrics gets interesting stuff but their stock is overstocks and pretty fluid, so buy some ease yardage, just in case. Some people like Denver/Fashion Fabrics, though their customer service has been a little lacking for me.

  Melody S. asked:

  Apologies in advance for the bandwith on a topic that most certainly has already been discussed but I've run several searches here looking for online sources for well-priced 100% wool suitable for kirtles, etc. Can anyone suggest a better search string for me? I've found several discussions but nothing in the stream or the files with actual vendor suggestions. THANKS!

  

  Noel G. replied:

  I'll add B&T. Angela Trowbridge Burnley is a Bee, knows what we like, and is an EXCELLENT resource. Her specialty is a bit later, but she understands fabrics and what we use. I highly recommend her as well. http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/

  Fay H. asked:

  I can't figure out what page would be the best to ask this question on. So I'll start here and see where it takes me. Where is the best place online to purchase linen? Quality vs price?

  Ok: Considering a middle-of-the-road Regency Era outfit for reasons yet to be revealed. Now. Does anybody have suggestions on how to get started? I have a great seamstress or two. Need ideas for buttons, fabrics, etc. Hoping Dr. Lynn Price might be able to help

  

  Lynn P. replied:

  There are entire books with patterns and info on fabrics. Great stuff! Muslin certainly will be the base. Here is a great source: http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/

  Gabrielle E. asked:

  does anyone know the best places to get linens, cottons and silsk for a saq back or polonaise gown?

  

  Steve R. replied:

  Hi Gabrielle; There are a couple of companies that can be highly recommended for interest in helping people with period materials and designs. Shopping for appropriate textiles can otherwise be hard; but perhaps others have sources of documented styles that they can share also.
