ISO Cotton/Polyamide/Elastane

[Acorn]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find fabric that is 65% cotton, 31% polyamide and 4% elastane?  It's well outside my usual needs!

What do you want it for?
Woven or jersey?

[Acorn]

Oops - I need a knit fabric.  It's for sleep/boxer shorts for Mr Acorn, who is wearing out some beloved pairs he has had for a very long time.   Everything we can find now is either too synthetic or too cotton-y (and therefore goes baggy easily).

[BrendaP]

If you don't want it too cottony, rayon (vincel, tencel, cupro, lyocel, model etc) might be suitable.

Ooh, thanks @BrendaP  - there are a couple there that are worth investigating. 

The only reason I don't want too much cotton is because the recovery tends to be poor.  The ones he has have still got excellent recovery after 15+ years of wearing one of three pairs almost every night.

It's the ampunt of Lycra/Spadex/elastane which determines how good the recovery is.  The higher the percentage the better it is - usually.
