Podcast 20 Fabric Gatekeeping - 5 April 2021

Today Bob and Kass talk about fabric gatekeeping in the dress-up hobbies. There are reasons to curate fabric choices and there are equal reasons not to care about it. It's a difficult and often complicated subject with plenty of contradictions. It's not as easy as "don't wear polyester". It's very easy to allow the best to become the enemy of the good. No matter what your personal fabric authenticity choices, there is one rule: Don't be a dick.
