A question for the SF.net community....
The other day I went to get some shirts made and on a whim asked how much it would cost for a vicuna suit. He said they start at $65,000. I felt the small sample and it seemed nice but I couldn't tell if that was enough to justify the cost. Figured some of the members who are much more knowledgeable about fabric and the like could enlighten me.
Is the fabric much warmer or softer or whatever that makes it exponentially more expensive than other fabrics? Is a matter of exclusivity for the fabric? Does it have some other properties that make it "worth it" to acquire?
Thanks!
Your pal,
