Locating Wool Loden Fabric by the Bolt? Anonymous Sat Dec 15 14:29:00 2018 No.10057105 [Reply] [Original]

/out/ here. I'd like to make a wool loden cloak, such as the one in this image, but I'm finding it difficult to pin down a good source for wool fabric sold in bulk. I can order anything online and budget for the material won't break the bank.

So far I've looked at Pendleton's site, Harbor Freight (their $10 wool blankets are as bad as you'd expect, like literal shoddy material), moodfabrics, and a few others. I'm thinking that a German website would have it, but I can't into German very well to find one. I can find the manufacturer of wool loden cloaks in German, the last time I looked (can't remember the name now,) but i want to tailor on myself.

This isn't the first time I've been inspired to do this and still I can't seem to find what I need. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong name when it is in bolt form?

Can anyone help?
