^I don't know if you can buy rtw stuff in fresco. You might. Generally on SF frescos are thought to be from Minnis (Fresco), H&S (Crispaire -which has changed somewhat i'm told by Slewfoot and Despos), Smiths (Finmeresco), the LL (Brisa, which is made by a firm whose name I forget), and the rare cloth from now-defunct, iirc, Woodhouse. But there are other manufacturers who make porous fabrics. And there's a good chance that somewhere, someone is making rtw in it. (Maybe Ringjacket at the Armoury?) There's even some chance it's being made in one of the fabrics named above.
I think there's some truth to that. The texture would depend somewhat on the weave of the wool/linen cloth. A wool/linen blend would resist wrinkles better than an all-linen one but worse than all wool. But wrinkles aren't always a problem. Other differences imo include that linen tends to be cooler than wool, a little heavier, and to require cleaning more often.
