Author Topic: Silk Phillipe de Pamiers Member Member # 171 posted 10-22-2001 09:16 AM                   Newton mentions the use of silk as a fabric for lining garments in Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince. I am wondering what "form" of silk this was? Was it similar to raw silk? What about silk for hose? or for a cote hardee? -------------------- Phillipe de Pamiers Registered: May 2001  |  IP: Logged Nikki Member Member # 27 posted 10-22-2001 07:35 PM                   quote: Originally posted by Phillipe de Pamiers: I am wondering what "form" of silk this was?

Crowfoot, there is a very extensive discussion of extant silk fabrics from the period, including weight, weave, dyes, etc. Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged
