(21,046 posts)I live in my grandparents' house and I have a closet full of Fieldcrest and Cannon towels made in the U.S.A. No more.
All the material they sell at wallyworld is cheap thin stuff you can use for quilting but not good for much except lightweight summer wear.
Since clothes are made for the average chinese person, I am a "large" and I am five foot two and weigh 150 lbs. I am not that big except in the ribs. I think it's ridiculous that a size 14 is a "large".
If I want to buy silk or anything other than simple cotton or polyester I go here, in Houston:

They have another store across the street which sells furniture and upholstery material. I bought my sofa and recliner material from them. I got a dark blue cotton with about a 1mm pile that has a sinewave pattern in it.
