Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13653	what I know as cheesecloth Dunno what you know as cheesecloth. What USns call cheesecloth wouldn't work for this kind of shirt. Would you wear a shirt made of it? And go to work in that shirt? It's a little more casual than your standard dress shirt but not so much to stop you from going to work.

Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11578 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Helen's already been here on that one, Bingley. In response to Jo asking about what she knows as cheesecloth blouses, of troy said: the blouses Jo defined--(circa 1960) sheer to almost sheer-- in this country that fabric would be voile, or lawn.. http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=55220 Here's a site where you can view cheesecloth weaves: http://www.alphasourceintl.com/cheese/cheesecloth2.htm Finally found a good close-up of oxford cloth (scroll down): http://store.yahoo.com/phoenixtextiles/l-117.html

I had to double-check your post though since I just looked at third picture and thought, hmmmm, doesn't look like that would be him. Looks kinda like Jimmy Durante. Then I went back and saw you said third picture down. How neat, now I'll recognise you in Ireland. Are ya bringing the hat? I know how you guys do love your tatty accessories.
