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? |

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. Kay |
