So, did anyone identify this cloth yet or all you all still arguing about who wants to be Kermit?

Whatever the words you write, your objective is the same:

A stroke or a slap, you chase them equally so they all must feel the same.

I prefer to be stroked. But I don't think less of anyone who prefers to be slapped; it doesn't make you less of a man. Well, not in most respects.

I have no idea what the fabric may be, but I am sure it's NOT Porter & Harding's Glorious Twelfth. It's much too loosely woven.

So, definitely a tweed? Or some strange worsted variation?

Perhaps they would give us a group discount but we should all chip in and get whatever atelier warehouses the remaining bolt of this fabric and have them kerosene and torch it. It would make a most excellent SF youtube vid.

We can't all wear electric blue future fabric.

At least the cloth I like won't melt and release toxic fumes when burnt.
