Help!

Can somebody tell me a very expensive, soft fabric for male shirts that comes in black?

Help appreciated...

like, i know next to nothing about fabrics, but how about genuine silkworm silk?

ok. canton silk brocade with golden thread. you can't possibly get more expensive than that..
lol

LOL! Did you make that up? Sounds good though!

well.. since expensive => has to be natural fibre. (i assume.) sheep? no. cotton? no. linen? no. silkworm? perhaps.. (you know, all those little caterpillars feeding on mulberry leaves..)

still more expensive? a special kind of silk.. silk brocade? a special silk brocade. hm. handmade canton silk brocade.

ok. still more expensive? add some golden thread.

only i have no idea how light or soft such a fabric may be..

if you find any error in the algorithm, let me know.. hehe. :)

Cashmiere? It's a sweater material, but . . . very soft, and black.

I was thinking of Cashmere, too, but it's not really shirt material... it's almost TOO soft for that...

chami cloth is really soft but VERY warm, uncomfortably so. Raw silk is nice, it drapes well, and doesn't have that slipperyness that silk does. you could try going satin.

I'm going to have to go with everyone else, and say silk. Really, really expensive, high-quality silk. Because black silk shirts = sex.

Though if it's cold, you could try velvet. But don't trust me too much on that one, because I'm not sure if guys can even wear velvet shirts.
