velvet or wool?

[creagdhubh]

Cotton velvet is a horrible fabric! I only have silk velvet. Some of the jackets I have that are made of silk velvet are over 70 years old. Cotton has an inferior sheen, and the hand is stiff. I would never choose it for a doublet.

PS. "Horrible" might be a bit strong. I was trying to get across the view that cotton velvet is not nearly as nice a fabric as silk velvet.

I agree Sandy.
