Hello all! I'm obviously new here and had a quick Q about soft goods.

Given the choice between velvet and velveteen, do you have any opinions on them? Pros/cons kinda stuff?

I must admit my experience with these two fabrics is limited and I'm not sure exactly what I want as of yet.

I'm very close to ordering my helm and pike, but the robes are a big sticking point with me for some reason.

Help tip my silly ass over the edge?

Stick with velvet, my robes are "tripple crushed" velvet

Do you know what the cleaning requirements are? I can imagine robes get funky after summer trooping outside.

Freebreeze after every troope and dry clean once a month.

Heh, that'll be an interesting talk with my cleaner.


So velvet for the win eh?

Velvet is best and always carry Febreeze in your armor bin.

Alrighty, you have tipped me over the edge... velvet it is! Ordering my Helm, 'pike and gloves today.
