Coolmax Material or fabric for sewing

I've come across several new golfing outfits that have this wicking
type of material. One brand name is Coolmax. I would like to make my
own clothes with this fabric. Can anyone tell me how to purchase some
or where to look for it?

Sorry, those are the only sources for fabric I found. But why
bother when the RTW seem resonable?

Coolmax is a brand name from a garment manufacturer. You're not
likely to find that *brand* of wicking fabric for sale BTY unless it's
overruns or mill ends. However, that doesn't mean you can't buy a
very similar fabric.

do a google search on 'wickaway fabric yard' or 'wicking fabric yard'
and see what you get.

Coolmax is DuPont's trademark for wicking polyester. PowerDry is the Malden
Mills fabric... and there are a lot of others.

Try searching "wicking polyester". I get most of mine from Rose City Textiles,
http://www.fabricline.com -- but if you look in the where to buy fabric
section of Penny Schwyn's site, http://www.specialtyoutdoors.com , you'll
find other retail sources. Comes in various weights. Works best for sweat
soakers in dry climates... not nearly as useful in soggy hot places like
Houston, compared to Phoenix, for instance


You can also find them in fabric coops... the yahoo group fabricsandnotions
is having a group buy of Malden's "silkweight" PowerDry in black, white and
nude right now -- reputable group with good fabrics; I've bought many nice
things there.

Wicking polys are mostly knits -- though there are some rare wovens available
Noticed one when I was in Rose City Textiles today.

If you haven't already bought, Seattle Fabrics has a wicking jersey on
sale right now.
