There is mention of it in the Tudor Tailor, at any rate.

I'm looking for two yards of a wool broadcloth in a particular color.

Yes I'm a jack of all trades but love sewing!

The book is full of information. How authentic do you want to go? Most important is to stay to natural fabrics as most faires are during the summer Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:50:37 GMT Donna Duncan http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tudor_Tailor_Reader/message/2486 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tudor_Tailor_Reader/message/2486 Welcome, Paula.  I know you will love this group.  As a suggestion, for ungarments, linen is always a good fabric to consider.  It washes well, absorbs heat Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:01:49 GMT psgasparotto http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tudor_Tailor_Reader/message/2485 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tudor_Tailor_Reader/message/2485 Hi everyone!
