RFI: fabric

[curgoth]

Anyone know where I can get lots of black flannel? I have a sewing project in mind for which I want something that will hang well, yet be warm. I've checked the Queen West fabric stores and had no luck. I'm trying to avoid dyeing white flannel or similar, since I am fairly lazy.

I've found polar fleece in black, but that's too heavy for what I have in mind.

Flannel hakama.

I sincerely hope you're going to be somewhere without central heat while it's cold outside with that on...

Yup. They're intended as camping wear for Kaleidoscope - last year the temperature dropped hugely overnight, so at 2 am sitting on the beach, I was shivering even with a hoodie and a running sweater, partly because I was wearing lightweight wrap pants on my lower body. I figure flannel hakama should keep me warm. I'm hoping to combine them with some polar fleece arm-warmers with finger pockets and possibly some kind of polar fleece vest/jacket of non-Japanese design.

Good idea.
