Author Topic: Linen Weight Sir John New Member Member # 938 posted 12-29-2005 06:41 PM                   Greetings I was wondering what would be the correct weight of linen to use for a quilted jack as well as braies? i have seen 3oz-7oz. And color- bleached white or the natural? In the Embleton books everyone seems to have nice whiet jacks and such. Same question for wool for hose?
