what fabric would you use?
Kimono is made of cotton, hemp, wool, or silk.

Silk brocade with weaved-in swastika patterns is very classical, but expensive and hard to find outside Japan.

Light cotton is used in making yukata (summer kimono).

Cotton, hemp and wool is used for normal kimono.

Don't use artificial fabrics such as fortrel or polyester. It's cheap and it shows.
