On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Eileen Duffey and I am here in Silva, New York and today we are going to talk about fabrics. The eleventh fabric we have today is this textured plaid from Scotland. This is my favorite fabric I have ever found. I love all the color combinations. It is 80 percent cotton and 20 percent wool. It is a little expensive; it runs about $35 a yard. A wonderful coat or jacket out of this would just be stunning, especially this color combination. I think a fuchsia lining would be amazing. Again, this fabric can be found on-line, it can be found in the garment district in New York City. It's just an amazing Fall fabric that I think is going to do very well next season.
