Flak vest material?

Hello everyone.
I am still a rather recent member and I am working on an ESB Fett. This my first set of armour and I wondered if anyone could tell me what sort of fabric is usually used on the flak vest?
 
We refer the the material as "tackle twill" it is a medium weight non-stretch fabric with a silky feel. It will have a shiny and less shiny side. One popular vest maker uses a fabric called Peau de Soie which is very close. Any heavy weight and durable costume satin will work though.
 
Makes sense. Thanks a lot! I will post pictures when I start a rough version (hopefully this weekend). Feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated.
