On the Victoria & Albert Museum site, they list a cravat in their collection made of lawn. Having never heard of lawn fabric before, I googled it.
"Lawn cloth or lawn is a plain weave textile, originally of linen but now chiefly cotton. Lawn is designed using fine, high count yarns, which results in a silky, untextured feel. The fabric is made using either combed or carded yarns. When lawn is made using combed yarns, with a soft feel and slight luster, it is known as 'nainsook'."--Wikipedia
If I can find a source, this sounds like something I would actually like wearing.
