[Ponte Alto] Source for linen for fighters

[Belphoebe]

So we are in business then.  Fabric-store.com has the bleached and the optic white.  I thought that at one point they had unbleached for some reason.
 
Sooooo, we get the bleached and avoid the optic white and we're cool :-)
 
Thanks James!

On the topic of bleach vs. non-bleached I would ust like to say that the 
living history group I am in we ask for bleached linen instead of optic 
white. Optic white is achieved through modern methods, and the few medieval 
linen shirts still about today are yellowish from bleach. Besides if you 
bleach your shirts they turn yellowish anyhow :)

I also noticed (too late) that they (fabrics-store.com) are out of the ILO 
19 unbleached, and that they only have the bleached. It does not matter. 
Bleached is fine too. Unbleached looks more period but bleached linen beats 
the heck out of white trigger anyway (it breathes a lot better).

Fabrics typically has a very good sale on many of
their fabrics at that time. I believe it was at least
25% off last year, and probably the same this year.
