My father use to buy fabric in Italy and have suits made. I was young at the time, maybe 11 years old, (I am 46 now) but if memory serves me well, I remember going with him to one fabric shop and seeing linen that looked similar to some of the Indian cottons that I described earlier in that it looked wrinkly. It wasn't exactly pleated-rather, the fabric had irregular folds along its length. The linen was very fine and lightweight. (Even at a young age, I had a fascination with fabrics and ancient costume )
I hope this helps.
