I bought the head in Germany and set it up on an industrial table.

Don't know where to list it:

I have excellent 150g/m body canvas, light and nice springy. I had to order whole roles from Italy and it cost me a fortune.

I can sell some of it here and there for 25$/m and only shipping in the USA. Or I cut a piece for a suit of both Horse hair and body canvas for 40$.

This stuff is probably the best canvas for suits world wide. I chose it under many samples and when I wanted to order it, it was not produced anymore, so I narrowed it down until i found the last roll they had in stock and it still was awesome material. So there was better ones 10 years ago but I still managed to get an equivalent and they hauled that big role over to the USA. It is very difficult to buy such a heavy roll outside the USA and bring it over without being a big business.

I don't have a picture right now of the horse hair canvas, it's real springy good and light too, 156g/m.
I can only sell little bit here and there, since it has to last until I die.

Living in Texas are you making cowboy style suit coats. Some have impressive yokes. Sometimes different cloth. Even leather. Western shirts can be very fancy.
This Oregon rancher, that visited, always had a different leather vest. Not chintzy (cheap and of poor quality). Vest you can depend on why riding a horse and doing cowboy work. Maybe a saddle maker or cowboy boot maker made them for him. When I look on the internet all I see is city slicker pretend cowboy vest.
Some tailors know how to make everything. They enjoy most all of it.
Tailoring is indeed art.
Reading about Henry Poole. His father decided his next son is going to school. Eventually Henry was born. In those days all the kids at school came from wealth. They wore fashions! Later Henry had a number of tailor shops. Saville Row, for the wealthy. Stodgy old men. Another one for the middleclass. A fashion one for the younger generation. He had one or more shops in France. Saville Row is still making for old stodgy men who hate fashions. Henry Poole was not trapped in a little box about style only.
Buy a bolo tie and wear it sometimes. Fit into the culture you live in.

Not doing anything with leather. This is a different trade.
