How do I get into natural fiber, traditionally-made clothing as a beginner? I've been watching people like pic related on youtube and I'm really intrigued by the whole natural clothing thing; what's /fa/'s opinion on it? Does anyone here watch bernadette banner or other channels like her? Do you own any 100% wool/cotton/etc handmade pieces? How much did it cost? I'm pretty new to fashion in general and also a dude btw

[Anonymous No.14882308]

My mom sometimes makes me clothes - right now I'm wearing a wool coat with cotton lining. I don't remember how much we paid for the fabric.
You could make your own clothes but it would be a shame to destroy quality fabric if you don't know how to sew - so maybe start with a cheaper muslin to practice on.

I've always owned only natural fibers clothes. Grew up with this and I hated the feel of synthetics of any kind.
When I can't find something I like in store, I commission local seamstresses for pieces. I buy the materials myself and bring a sketch of what I want, and they work their magic after sessions of drafting and adjusting. Costs are pretty low since I live in EE, so it's not worth for me to bother to do it myself.

I've recently become more aware of pure natural textiles. Not because I care about the environment, but because I came to the realization that you can't surpass God's creation.
Also,fucking up natural materials with plastic and other bullshit is disingenuous and a kike move.

Last piece I bought was a pure wool sweater from Benetton,50€

I’d start just sourcing from local companies that don’t use synthetics, or companies entirely in western countries. You could also try Etsy, both for finished pieces and for locally made fabrics.
Obviously the end goal would be learning to make things yourself

You're not even looking at the right shirts, that's the "Sea Island Quality" stuff that's made from specially sifted Egyptian cotton to get mainly the longer staple fibers, and woven with a higher than normal thread count meant to approximate the quality of the real thing. The "West Indian Sea Island" shirts which are the real Sea Islands cotton cost $450 apiece.

>how have I not heard of this company before?
They don't advertise, Anon. They're regarded as the world's best shirtmakers, still make a large proportion of their product bespoke (at even higher prices) and you pay accordingly. They're the absolute top level of British menswear and those guys never, ever take out ads. You don't see any Henry Poole advertisements in GQ either.

you can just thrift, the notion that natural clothing would be somehow hard to obtain is simply absurd.
most t-shirts are made from 100% cotton, that being said, as a textile student i can tell you that almost all clothing is sewn with polyester thread because its more durable, stretchy and cheaper compared to 'natural' threads.

more often than not using natural fibers is highly encouraged and favored in the fashion scene/industry for various reasons, some being the ease of dyeing the material and natural fibers being less prone to getting static charges.

also most clothing is hand made, manipulating fabrics is still too hard for machines. the only things done by machines are embroidery, knitting and some simple things like socks & shirts.

that being said i own a cotton turtleneck i made myself.
