>>89753Right now the debate is between a cotton "twill" which would be more authentic to the original uniforms, and a ripstop fabric for more durability.
I have a feeling we'll end up going with the most utilitarian material available, as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Most people want this to use as serious outdoors gear, not as something they wear to pick up milk at Walmart.
If you've got a good idea for a material, you can post it here or on the /k/ thread.
