What's sort of material do you make the costumes/tabards so they last longer in the chalky caves. (and can be washed regularly)
Thinking of making a shield cover out of this but a £9 a meter wanted to be sure.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Homescapes-Pure-Co...s=purple+fabricI use a polyester mix, I know it is long lasting and a good material to use as I have a fire elf and an Ice/winter elf costumes made of this stuff that I made them 1986! and I still wear them down the caves 30 years later.
I shop at Walthamstow market London, as I find there is a good selection there, plus they are all competing with each other on there prices. I normally play one against the other to get price down (Haggle).
As it happens I need to make some shield covers for my daughters new large kite shield.
Hope that helps
