Dec. 28th, 2006 11:53 amanyone here bought linen from fabrics-store.com? is IL019 the best fabric to use for fencing shirts? i've been looking for something that's heavy enough that it isn't see through, but which is still closely woven. most of the medium to heavy fabrics i've seen in the past have large, loosely woven threads, and don't shrink up nearly as much as i'd like when washed.
also, if i wanted a linen fencing doublet, should i go for heavy or canvas weight fabrics?
