I'm sewing a zoot suit (Vogue 2367) for Halloween and it recommends Gabardine, Wool Crepe, or Wool Flannel. I need to order the fabrics online (nowhere has orange with green stripes) and need to know the least shitty replacement fabric from this list or another website. Also less than 2 months of prep left whatre youre plans for 'ween?
anon just buy one from a costume store. You're never gonna wear it again so why invest so much money and time
OP where do you live? Where I am, Halloween is still generally warm, not yet Winter cold.
If you were to wear and old style zoot suit it might get pretty hot (especially if you're drinking/drugs). Maybe choose a fabric you'd like to wear more.
I'd recommend Jersey; but if you really need a wool substitute go for a cotton twill (again, lightweight would be better, trust)

cuz its gotta be orange with green stripes

those are awful prices
they should all be divided by 5 at the least
anyway, gabardine is just wool twill, so the alternative is cotton twill
