Does Regia allow for plaid fabric?
This is a vexed subject! At one stage, no patterned cloth was allowed. This was because people tended to go a bit mad (the ‘car rug’ syndrome!). Now we allow stripes and checks within reason. Q: Does Regia allow for fabrics that are not 100% natural fabric? For instance, if I have a piece of fabric that appears to the naked eye to be wool, but is in fact 85% wool and 15% nylon can it be used. (The nylon will appear under a magnifying glass.) What about things that are good ‘linen look’. Or a wool/silk blend that looks like wool? A: It isn’t always possible to get fabric that is 100% natural. Here good linen is expensive, so we allow a mix of synthetic as long as it looks like the real thing. (Remember, you are more likely to go up in flames in synthetic!
