BeadMatch Reproduction 100% Wool Stroud Save List Broadcloth

We are very proud to offer to you best in the market reproduction old save list cloth. Beadmatch has done extensive source research in the 19th century save list cloth and using old cloth specimens we were able to reproduce old cloth with all of the qualities that the old cloth had. Our reproduction cloth is made of the same type of wool that the original cloth had. It has the same weaving pattern which is one to one (warp to weft thread) square weave pattern. Our cloth has the same milling and finish as the old cloth had. Our cloth is 100% wool made in England to our strict specifications. We produced a variety of grades and styles to match our samples of old Save List Stroud cloth that we had. We dye our cloth by hand here in United States using the same technique to produce the desired Save list results. We used extensive analysis of the dye colors to obtain the same colors to match our old Stroud save list swatches. We also offer styles of cloth dyed with natural indigo dye.

We would like to offer special thanks to Mark Miller of Kalispell Montana who has been very influential and supportive in reproduction process with his expertise in the subject matter and providing us with the old save list cloth specimens.

This type of broadcloth is used by many Native Tribes: Crow, Assiniboine, Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfeet, Nez Perce, Plains Cree,Ute, Kiowa and others, especially for men's leggings, shirts, breechcloths, warbonnets trailers or women's dresses and blankets.

The Art work is done by Bill Holm, Professor Emeritus of Art History, and Curator Emeritus of Northwest Coast Indian Art at the Burke Museum. Bill is recognized internationally as one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field of Northwest Coast Native art history as well as being an informed student of Plains, and Plateau Indian arts.
