I wonder if the same concept of homespun fabric can be applied to other material – say for example, cheap cotton or mesh material. Wool is a great material to work with because it can be used for formal attire however outside of the city, original ideas like using this material are less likely to catch on. In terms of general fashion and attire maybe something like a basketball or football jersey would work on a daily basis like a t-shirt (http://www.cityoriginal.com/jowh9usa.html). In this way something cotton could be used for a broader range of clothing types and provide the same comfort and breathe-ability that athletes in baseball, hockey, football, etc. utilize from their game uniforms. I wonder if creating homespun shoes or boots would also be possible. Thanks for sharing this.

You would probably receive a lot more vitamin D from the Sun that way. Interesting, thanks for the cool post!
