Slinger
#22
Based on what you said below, you should be good to go with either tunic fabric. I'd basically suggest that you contact either Legion VI in South Carolina or Legion V in Tennessee, as those are groups close to your area. I think both of those use red tunic cloth. Legion XX is in Massachusetts wears white, and there is a branch of Legion IX in North Carolina somewhere, and their color is red. So there are at least 4 groups in your general geographic area. If you can manage it, it would be very beneficial to attend a meeting or outing with some other Romans. They'd be glad to give you hands on experience, and would also give you some pointers that may help you get to the impression you want to make more quickly than you could do on your own...and AFAIK, just about every unit is glad to get a new recruit.

As a slinger, you'd be an auxilia anyhow, so perhaps the color would not be as important. The gabardine would be good, or any lightweight linen of not-too-bright of a color. Many auxilia kept some of the trappings of their native culture, so you could wear a dyed tunic and not be out of place, even if you're the only one. Small, round shield would be ok, too, so you could learn the drill the other groups use and be more of a fit. Not too hard to make a shield. For most folks, only the boss needs to be purchased. The rest is basic woodshop work.
