fat boy slim Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 haven't bought any in a long time but from what I remember Chinese silk seemed to be alot softer and better quality than Thai Silk. Only my recollections though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 There is a Jim Thomson store just opened at homeworks, looks like they will need to charge high prices to maintain there business Maybe JT copies or factory over runs would be more in my price range!

Cheers I saw a Jim Thompson discount or factory outlet on one of the upper floors at the Royal Garden shopping mall during my last trip. They had silk ties at that time.

Pattaya_Fox Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Just a note for your guidance. If you are purchasing silk items and the sales sign or the sign on the garment says Thai Silk then you are more than likely purchasing an item which is 50% silk and 50% cotton....the same applies if the sign says 100% Thai Silk. If the sign or label says 100% silk and you are purchasing it from a reputable source then there is a good chance that the item is in fact silk.
