Hello,
A client gave me a pair of Civil War reenactment men's "drawers" she wants copied for her husband. He loves these pants so much they have completely worn out from wear. The fabric is a natural color heavy weight twill, but the wrong side of the fabric is white and brushed to a nice soft loft. The client could not identify the fabric and there are no tags inside the pants. After doing a search online I ordered a swatch of "brushed twill". It not the right stuff. I check in my Past Patterns catalog for suggestions. The closest thing they name is Linen Drill, which doesn't have the brushed backing. This fabric is more like a flannel lined twill with both fabrics fused. There are seams on the pants that have spilt open. The fabrics are not fused, it's woven this way. A Google on "flannel lined twill" only took me to ready to wear pants lined with flannel, not a fabric source. Any ideas of what this could be or a source? Thanks for your help.
