  1. MODERN LINEN IS "GASSED" another word is mercerized I believe - the spun fibres are run through a gas flame at high speed and this burns off all the little bits that stick out This makes it softer and less scratchy BUT critically it does not BIND to itself as historical fabric would have, this is the same for cotton BTW. The original "bra" [strophian?] would have held in place far better.

  2. YES as a tailor of historical suits, I can confirm linen has ZERO stretch in it, But also - and this was my comment: MODERN LINEN IS "GASSED" another word is mercerized I believe - the spun fibres are run through a gas flame at high speed and this burns off all the little bits that stick out This makes it softer and less scratchy BUT critically it does not BIND to itself as historical fabric would have, this is the same for cotton BTW.

I can get lightweight Turkish wool and new old stock wools from the former USSR. And when you sat "fine" do you mean thin or do you mean woven densely from thin fibres? EDIT - I can also get hand woven narrow loom undyed cloth made in the villages here in Bulgaria

  4.  @martavdz4972  Im pleased it was helpful - modern fabric is very different to fabric even 50 years ago. Fabric on a mechanical shuttle loom drapes much better than modern projectile loom fabric, its much warmer and more windproof. And hand woven is completely different, much less regular but full of charactor
