I wanted to make some more Polartec 100 long underwear for two of my
daughters. The Malden Mills store only showed that weight available in
pastels, red, black and white, so I went to the website of a large, well
regarded online outdoor fabric supplier, and found they carry several
different P 100s.
The bill or packing slip for the piece I had sewn was nowhere to be
found in my files, so I didn't know exactly what I'd used. I hit the
'contact us' link and wrote an email, early morning, Dec. 30: "Is
Polartec 100 Microfiber suitable for making undergarments by a pattern
that specifies fabric with at least 25% stretch?" (Microfiber had lots
of color options, more than any of the other P 100s).
Late that day came an answer: "It does stretch in one direction but not
much in the other. Which pattern are you using? We do have stretch
fleeces that would definitely work."
I wrote back with the pattern number and a brief description of the
piece I'd used--stretch 25% widthwise, less lengthwise; lightly fleeced
on both sides. And thanked him for his help.
It was a holiday weekend so I didn't expect an instant response, but
days went by, nothing. Finally on the morning of Jan. 5, I forwarded
the previous email with a note: "I was hoping to receive further
information, so that I could make an informed decision and place an order."
He wrote: "Send your address and I will send you samples. That way you
can compare it to your existing fabric." No mention of the delay in
replying. I thought, well, here goes three or four more days, but sent
my addy.
Now it's two weeks past my first email with what I thought was a simple
question. I would have expected to already have the long johns sewn up
and in the mail to DDs, but still have no samples, much less any fabric.
Think I'll buy elsewhere.
