Title: Where to buy technical shirt fabric
Post by: Kathy on January 13, 2018, 11:47:09 AM
I want to make some shirts for travelling/walking.  The manufactured ones don't fit me.
Where can I buy suitable woven (not jersey) fabric?
My usual resource for outdoor fabrics is Pennine Outdoor, but they don't have anything suitable for shirts.

Active Fabrics (https://www.activefabrics.co.uk/) does a lot of breathable type stuff.

Are you looking for woven cotton for absorption or a synthetic fibre for wicking? or a napped/fleecy fabric for warmth? or maybe a fine wool for warmth?  or silk for warmth and lightness?  or what?
