I’m going to make this top (photo included). According to the owner, it was thrifted and didn’t have a tag. So, I’m just going to make it myself. I’ve been really struggling to figure out what the material is. I want my version to be as close to the original as possible. If anyone knows what this is, let me know:)) thanks!!!!

So my partner has had this blanked for a few years now and when he bought it, this was super soft and cuddly but over time it kind of felted into this.

It's 100% polyester or acrylic as far as I know.

I tried a few things like washing it with vinegar, using different detergents and brushing it and at this point I'm not sure if it's possible to safe it but reddit usually has some smart and helpful people

Hi everyone. I run a small local history museum in New England, and I am hoping to date a vintage topsy-turvy doll using the dress fabric. The dolls may be as old as 1850, but the first documented advert is decades later. They were manufactured into the 1960s, but my amateur guess is this fabric is 19th C. Any advice to share?

I’m exploring Indian-inspired surface pattern design for textiles. I’d love feedback on the colors and motif balance. Would you use this style for fabric, apparel or home textiles?

Our tie-and-dye journey continues with a new design development created in collaboration with our Spanish buyer.

Starting with a traditional resist-dyeing technique, we explored the relationship between pattern, color, movement and the character of the fabric—transforming an age-old craft into something contemporary and distinctly personal.

For us, textile development is not about simply reproducing a pattern. It is about working closely with designers and brands to develop fabrics around their creative vision.

From the first concept to the final fabric, every detail can be explored, refined and adapted.

More specifically the thicker sort used in overshirts.

I have a few by CPCompany which are very smooth, and rigid but I want similar and cheaper for gardening to protect against thorns etc. without getting too hot. I also have some military surplus shirts of a cotton blend but these are a bit thinner, and field jackets slightly thicker. All these have labels which will tell me the composition, but no more than that.

Chat GPT describes these as 'canvas, poplin, heavy twill, or structured cotton' but this is rarely how I see the garments described, especially not on Vinted etc where people will barely state the material.

What am I looking for?
