Anyone know where to find some material that resembles Gandalfs cloak/robe? I've already been to a few fabric stores with no luck.
If you go with raw silk I highly suggest Thai silks. They're a great company and I order my silks from them all the time. Good prices and good fabric.
Thai Silks - Fabric » Silk Noil » Raw Silk Noil, 45"
If you dye it yourself you also have options like this:
Thai Silks - Fabric » Heavy and Suit-Weight Silk » Indian Tussah, Natural, 54"
I'd suggest going through all their silks and look for any one that looks rough like his garment. Even if you have to dye it yourself.
Also, I'm pretty sure this info is accurate but you may want to double check but supposedly this is the company that made the hobbit cloaks as well as the Gandalf cloak. According to them it is wool. But this could be some kind of incorrect information that I don't know about.
