Ineresting ideas
Although ... while I understand the desire to make a fictional civilisation more unique, paper would make for awfull clothing. ( cellulose clothings actualy existed for a while as a novelty thing for women clothing in the sxities, it didn't last and for good reasons) Putting aside the question of flammability which would make cotton or leather much more logial choice if you're gonna hang around pyres a lot, paper, would be scratchy, get ruined by water (although I suppose waxing would help with that like with fire), making it also unwashable in the process and genraly extremely fragile to tearing stress.
If they gonna stick with waxed flammable clothing if/when they appear in REFUGEVILLE, may I suggest hemp as an alternative material ?
It is one of the oldest crops and clothing material known to man among many other fiber uses, including whatd'ya know paper, (not to mention the 'recreative' uses) I feel it'd sort of fit with the vibes I get from them as highly inteligent, soemwhat esotric minded and resourcefull people and the general survival vibe from refugeville.

(On an unrelated matter, anyone of my fellow readers got an idea or comment in art of domination ?)
