He's In A World Of His Own - Black satin

As near as makes no difference 60 in wide tailor's lining fabric of a quality of a bygone era and you don’t have to use this as a lining. Black satin with a very fine pinstripe relief in a much lighter brown. The whole thing looks very dark brown but I think the background is black.

These are words used to describe many things we don’t understand from lunacy to simple meandering. It’s used to describe me as I wander lonely as a cloud amongst fields of fabric, rolls falling down, stacks collapsing when you have to remove something from near the bottom, and indeed I can and do get carried away. One such occasion presents itself now. This cloth was described to me as a taffeta; I had no reason to argue with that until the cloth arrived. It is certainly not a straight forward taffeta, it appears to be made of polyester/viscose and acetate which gives much more body than the usual taffeta and enables the cloth to have a reasonable amount of weight and quite a bit of character. This will help with any draping you need of the cloth.

It has come from a tailor and I believe it was a lining for expensive suits.
