The Cloth Choice.

Hello,

 

So I bought a few yards of cloth to build the soft parts for my Revan costume. I chose to go with Black Twill, as it was suggested by a few people that it would hold the box pleats much better than most other fabrics.

 

What do you all think about this:

that looks fine. You'll want to wash the fabric first before you use it.

Black Twill what?

 

As in, what kind of fabric is it? Cotton, Wool, some blend? Where did you get it? Got a part number?

I'm asking because what you bought looks good, and I'd be interested in getting some. I've got 5 Revan costumes to make!

 

 

I ask because I bought 30 years of "Black Twill" that was a polyester/cotton blend. It was horrible. Good thing I need to make two table covers and two back drop curtains!

this looks like either the 100% cotton twill or cotton poly blend

Well...that's what I'm asking. I bought a twill that is a cotton poly blend. It was VERY stiff and NOT suitable for apparel, even after I washed it (with fabric softener) and dried it. Likewise, I used a waffle weave black cotton poly blend for a Jedi robe. This fabric is wonderful and has a good drape when worn. So, not all cotton poly blends are the same...nor are all 100% cottons the same. Hence...the question of what kind/where purchased/order numer question

 

I'm betting it's 100% cotton or perhaps wool? Still...the world needs to know!

Sorry, I've been very side tracked lately, new baby, and another on summer break.

 

It is a 100% Cotton, it's very durable, but not too stiff.

 

I got it at Joann in Niagara Falls, NY. I have the order number around here somewhere, I'll attempt to find it, to get the specific product number.
