There is this file in the CLOTHING section of the Florilegium that  
has some useful comments and ideas. For instance, metal banding,  
often used in shipping pallets of materials can often be gotten for  
free, but being uncoated it is subject to rusting and thus has to be  
removed before the clothing can be washed. Coated bands are available  
online, etc.

If the folks that have already emailed HL Darcy, would forward me  
their comments, I'd love to have them to possibly add to this file,  
or other appropriate files. I'm sure there are others across the  
Known World with similar questions.

Thanks,
   Stefan
