| Sites to research vintage clothing, styles, types, eras  | | | |  I have my regular sites that I visit to research the vintage clothing that I get in. The main thing is to try to identify the era itself, for me. After that I can put in the general description of the article being described.
Here's a problem that I'm beginning to encounter (well, I'm either beginning to have this problem or it's been there and I've only recently understood that it's a problem). Identifying the fabrics made (from whatever period of time) to create an item of clothing.
What sites can you visit that are based more on textile/fabric than style of clothing. I'd like to not only know more of the history of the actual piece of clothing, but of the fabrics used to create it as well.
Thanks in advance.

| | I use Google quite regularly (among other search engines). However, it takes a LOT of weeding through to find sites. The sites that I HAVE found, seem to be very good about providing history for specific items; on the other hand, products come and go quite regularly and if I don't catch some things just right, the potential for the knowledge is lost (even if temporarily).
I'm looking for QUALITY proven sites to add to my list. It's an endeavor to weed through truth and opinion. I'm looking for people to add to my list of professionals so that I may create a circle/network of knowledgeable "go to" people. This comes in very handy when you have people trying to BS me on a regular basis. I like to research the history and find the interesting details.
The library up the road from me is very limited in what it carries on this subject as this is a VERY small town (maybe 500 ppl at most) so it doesn't seem to get the variety it needs to expand my knowledge base on this. I've used the interlibrary request idea, but not everyone wants to use the technology (money is apparently the issue).
It is what it is.
