If the delivery cost is not ridiculous, I am definitely in for 4m, just want to get a rough idea of that, doesn't need to be very accurate, before confirming... Hope you don't mind

This is an incredibly stupid question, but if I were to buy some of this cloth, I wouldn't be able to have it made into a suit in the immediate future, so are there are guidelines to storing it?

Cloth should generally kept in a cool, dark room that is no hotter than 12 degrees C (53f) and no cooler than 8 degrees C (46f). Most of us have constructed bespoke storage cabinets to file away our unused cloth. These 'cloth vaults' are generally made out of 25cm-thick ceder panels. I think there are a few people selling some on here.

Will 30cm Beech work?

I know it was a stupid question and I doubt there's anything special involved, but if I'm going to spend $400-500 for cloth that I may never be able to get again, I just wanted to be sure.

You can just store it anywhere that's not in direct sunlight (which will fade that portion). Maybe put anti-moth product there too.

Great, thanks.

I'm in for 3.5m assuming the cost will be roughly similar to the $115/m mentioned previously.
