I like the feel of cotton? How about because I understand what it is LOL! I know my old Pennsylvania House tapestry fabric feels like cotton but I guess it may not be. It know that I, in total ignorance, washed the seat cushions without a problem. But maybe its not cotton? Its sort of hard to look at fabric on the web and totally not understand what its made of. Lots and lots of high % rayon blends which I always have associated as a cheap not very durable and certainly not washable fabric. I think rayon soils faster than cotton. I am assuming that like everything else, quality has gone downhill in all but the most "elite" price points and it takes a lot of research to know what your getting. But its not like there's a "upholstery fabric for dummies" handbook out there. I do know from burning out my eyeballs on websites and going to fabric and furniture stores that tapestry fabrics that feel like cotton - now seem to be mostly golfers or wine bottles or moose (there's a word for it but it escapes me) and a lot of the the more traditional patterns now have a shine to them and feel different. Not all of the but a lot, to the point that my choices are really limited and am having trouble finding something I like. I assume this is a "fashion trend" brought on by using a shiny reflective rayon thread that in reality is cheaper to produce or something. I don't like it. Don't want a flashy shiny couch. I want a traditional, muted, pattern in something that feels good and is very sturdy. But I think I'm going to end up a victim of progress because it just doesn't seem to be out there. (Looked at CR Laine, Stickley and H&M fabrics so far, plus most of the Robert Allen website) Not sure if the link works but if it does you'll see what I mean.

My favorite (I have ordered several yards of different fabrics and their quality is fab) is Design Diva Fabrics. They have great sales all the time. Here is a link that might be useful: design diva fabrics

walkin: I don't have a lot of experience with any of them. I ordered fabric from designdiva, but had to send it back because the color just wasn't right, and the design was not as sharply defined in person as on the website. I also have to pay a 15% restocking fee. I haven't ordered anything from fabricguru. I did order some fabric from the following seller (see link) This was a really good experience. The owner is a designer. I was torn between two different fabrics and couldn't decide. I sent her a photo of the chair and the room and she actually recommended the less expensive fabric! She was also helpful in terms of educating me about durability, etc. Designerfabrics, on ebay, tends to have a really nice selection, but I haven't ordered anything from them. In general, the fabric I liked was better priced than in the mortar-and-brick stores. Here is a link that might be useful: iluvfabrics

It is Suzani design : https://www.fabricmill.com/taraz-teak.html You should order a cutting, or just do the entire chair over. The dye lot will not be the same and the fabrics may not match in color perfectly.
