Re: Help Choosing X-Kilt Fabric?
Halfpint, I soften my ducks by putting them in washer for a 1/2 hour wash cycle with a cup of Downy fabric softener only. Hang dry with straightend pleats ( I use weighted wooden clothespins ) Then tumble them in a cold dryer for 15 to 30 minutes with 12 tennis balls. After the first wash and soften round, I just use Downy in the rinse and the tennis ball routine.
They come out quite soft from the pounding. Being cotton duck, a bit of touchup iron work is required at times.

Re: Help Choosing X-Kilt Fabric?
Cotton poly all the way for me. Done the all cotton...never again.
If it's fabric designed for outdoor wear, it will be heavy enough. If military or hunting camo is a possibility, I have a link for you.
