- Why vicuña fabric is so expensive, it’s quite a fascinating article: https://bellatory.com/clothing/The-Rarest-Fabric-in-the-World
- It’s hard to determine how much Vicker’s suit would have cost, I can say they probably needed about four metres, as for the exact cost per metre, the price varies but it can be up to $1000 USD per metre! Just for comparison, you could buy enough leather for three or four large men’s jackets for $1000.
