Military Uniforms

Here is a website that offers reproduction military uniforms. I have not ordered from them as yet, but they have cool stuff. You can also find officer pinks, that can be substituted for your Indy pants.

Military Uniform FABRIC?

One website offers fabric, I think it's At The Front, but they no longer carry the Waffen SS Oak fabric. Anyone know of a site or storefront that sells it by the yard?
Also, there's a website that discusses the fabric used by the Germans. It was a plain weave (not a twill) of a wool/rayon content (and the rayon increased as the war dragged on). "Plain weave" covers a LOT of variations; anyone know what it was? Flannel perhaps?

I'm thinking B Black and Sons would be a good source for solid colored wool and wool blends....

I've gotten a few things from Juan at WWII Impressions, and so far I am very happy with all of them. He's a nice guy, too, and easy to deal with on the phone.

At The Front sells "Swiss Wool", which is similar to the WW2 German wool cloth but in a more grey shade.
