2.5 yards of muslin is the cats pjs. I'm out in whatever conditions 12 hrs a day every day on Poop Patrol, and just that one accessory cannot be overstated in its necessity. The hotter it gets the more cloth I wrap on and around my head and shoulders. My first year I made a full 7 layer beduin outfit. I don't wear all of the pieces at once, but each piece (pants, tunic, robe and kathea) all make exceptional clothing. Egyptian cotton is a bit too pricey for me, so I just use medium weight cotton muslin. All my Pottie-Pants are just that with elastic waist and deep pockets. Comfortable & hard wearing. Good luck.
