What I really don't get is why modern shirting makers do not produce these kinds of fabrics anymore.
shirt fabrics have got thinner and smoother due to the same meme you hear repeated by the manufacturers of super 180s suiting fabric: "men want soft, luxury fabric, not the heavy, coarse fabrics their grandfathers had".
as for the designs, i'm sure they could be done, even the ones that have the fancy raised areas. it just needs the enthusiastic designer (with money) to get these things back into production.
