Hi guys.. appreciate your comments on this particular fabric selling on ebay.. Do you think what the seller is saying are true?..

He said.."....if this was sold as a retail item it would cost over £150 a meter if you could get it anywhere, the manufacture cost was £75 per meter before profit its a fantastic buy !!!! .."

I'm just trying to get a little grasp on how to value fabrics sold internationally.

For reference. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6mts-60-wide-ENG...=item2eb86e10ef

Just as i suspected..there's a few more question still need to be asked before making a fabric purchase. From what i gather here from all you sifus is that:
1. The preferred fabric is wool (super 120 should suffice)
2. The wool could be combine with mohair...but there's a certain degree of ratio combination.. Anything less than 35% wool should be avoided..I think.??
3. There's a certain weight for certain fabrics... which i still yet to learn.
Oh.. & if you're buying wool + poly, then don't bother buying it from UK.

Feel free to comment guys.

Any other shop in London specifically that you could recommend?

Hmm.. back to square one..

Not many fabric that is fresco wool on ebay.. most search return as balls of yarns..hehe.
Most of em sellers expresses the fabric as 'Worsted Wool' which i've never seen discussed in this thread before.

Somehow.. the suit reminds me of an old Hong Kong gangsta movie.

Nope..but my cousin is base in London. Her mother usually visits her 3-4 times a year. I've been thinking that i could source out the fabrics thru her.
I don't really know how much to budget coz it really depends on the type of fabric... & i still haven't decided on what kinda fabric to buy.
