Coolmax Material or fabric for sewing

I've come across several new golfing outfits that have this wicking type of material. One brand name is Coolmax. I would like to make my own clothes with this fabric. Can anyone tell me how to purchase some or where to look for it?

Sorry, those are the only sources for fabric I found. But why bother when the RTW seem resonable?

Coolmax is a brand name from a garment manufacturer. You're not likely to find that *brand* of wicking fabric for sale BTY unless it's overruns or mill ends. However, that doesn't mean you can't buy a very similar fabric.

do a google search on 'wickaway fabric yard' or 'wicking fabric yard' and see what you get.

A few sources: (*) (under fabric) (*) (*)

(*) (surrently only one color, but inventory changes frequently)

Coolmax is DuPont's trademark for wicking polyester. PowerDry is the Malden Mills fabric... and there are a lot of others.

Try searching "wicking polyester". I get most of mine from Rose City Textiles,

, you'll find other retail sources. Comes in various weights. Works best for sweatsoakers in dry climates... not nearly as useful in soggy hot places like Houston, compared to Phoenix, for instance

You can also find them in fabric coops... the yahoo group fabricsandnotions is having a group buy of Malden's "silkweight" PowerDry in black, white and nude right now -- reputable group with good fabrics; I've bought many nice things there.

Wicking polys are mostly knits -- though there are some rare wovens available Noticed one when I was in Rose City Textiles today.

If you haven't already bought, Seattle Fabrics has a wicking jersey on sale right now.
