Sir Rodney:
The mailman has delivered!  It’s time for some reading, shopping and maybe even a new thread. :)

Ian:
Others can chime in with their preferred sources, but I got all my linen from http://fabrics-store.com/.  I recommend the canvas weight for the outer shell, and the medium weight for the liner.  If you're going to pad it with batting, I recommend a 100% natural fiber batting of your choice.

Sir Wolf:
thats usually the best place to get linen

scott2978:
That's where I get all my linen also.

Question: Why use heavier linen for the outside? I'm currently pinning my pattern to the medium weight linen to cut the final garment, and I was thinking... why not make the whole thing out of this? Any advice?

Ian:
Maille.  :)

The canvas weight stands up to the maille, dirt, grime, straps etc... the medium weight is going to get torn up.
