Fun with Fabric / Hiking trouser fabric
« on: July 29, 2021, 17:35:48 PM »
The pair of hiking trousers I made a dozen years ago has finally given up. I can't buy ready-to-wear trousers that fit, but I do have patterns that, after much adjustment, do fit me.
I need breathable, windproof fabric such as commercial hiking trousers use. I don't want softshell or waterproof. Years ago I bought it from Pennine Outdoor but neither they nor Point North seem to have anything suitable any more. More recently I know someone who got fabric from Extremtextil, and they do have something that might do (ETAdry 130 (cotton)) , but they are not shipping to the UK anymore (thank you, Brexit!).
Does anyone know of any other specialist suppliers or possible sources? Or have any other suggestions of what I might do?
