You should probably note that China silk is also called habotai, depending
on who's selling it.
I noticed that you have crepe de chine listed with China silk and
chiffon--it really should have its own category. Crepe de chine is woven
with tightly twisted threads so it has a fairly flat luster and a 'pebbly'
texture. It's also usually heavier than chiffon or habotai. Drapes
beautifully, not sure if it's SCA period in the slightest.
Not sure if you want to mention gabardine at all--poly gab is visually
indistinguishable from wool gab.
