I was looking for fabric for the obi. Does anyone know if it is cotton or linen? It gathers up like gauze, but I've seen mention of linen in some of the costumes for sale on Etsy. I found a few fabrics on Fabrics.com that look close to the right color.

Suiting Linen (Probably too stiff)

The high-res Petco poster shows a nubby texture to the obi, so I'm leaning toward linen. Also the poster is very color edited to appear more warm. The difference between my mood fabric and the poster is quite a bit.
