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. As near as makes no difference it is 60 in wide and of a quality of a bygone era and you don’t have to use this as a lining. Dark brown with a multiple relief pinstripe slightly raised and slightly rougher than base cloth. This one you could use inside out, in fact you could use them all inside out if you wanted.
Great for waistcoats and lining coats too.
