Would anyone have recommendations on where to look for this or something similar?
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

There are 3 yard display lengths, but mostly small to medium. Rolls so can order what is needed.Looks nice. Are these pre-cut lengths, or can we specify? (My makers like a bit more than the usual standard-- 2.2m or 3.5m, depending on width.)
@RJmanIs there interest in buying shirt lengths of vintage fabrics? I recently purchased the contents of the shirtmaking business from Alex Kabbaz. Mostly 36" /90cm fabric woven in the previous century. From mills that no longer exist in France, England, and Italy. There is plenty of Alumo that feels much nicer than what is produced today.
Broadcloth, voile, cotton/wool.
There is more fabric than I can sell as shirts.
My question, is there enough interest to set up a site to sell to forum members who use other shirtmakers. View attachment 2134265 View attachment 2134273 View attachment 2134271 View attachment 2134269 View attachment 2134267 View attachment 2134275
Amazing stuff, which you already know. I’d suggest two options:Is there interest in buying shirt lengths of vintage fabrics?

Thank you for this advice. I am a bit of a Luddite. Will have to get a student to helpAmazing stuff, which you already know. I’d suggest two options:
1) Set up a simple Google Sheets with embedded link to a photo of each length of fabric. Put in your price per length / metre (as appropriate) which includes your cost of doing business.
2) Post here and elsewhere your offer for new clients to have the lengths made up. I for one haven’t ordered shirts from you before but could be persuaded because of the fabrics you now have. I’m sure I am not alone. So the aim here is to make things as easy as possible, and avoid price being an obstacle, for those who might otherwise chose option (1) but would be willing to order direct.
Ppk thank you for taking the time to search. I know the cloth for the one I showed came fromI did Google reverse image search and here are a couple that are similar:
