Textiles used in manufacturing clothing

Calico
Calico is a fabric made from unbleached, and often not fully processed, cotton. It may contain un separated husk parts. The fabric is less coarse and thick than canvas or denim, but owing to its unfinished and un dyed appearance, it is still very cheap. The name Calico is derived from the name of the city of Calicut (Kozhikode) third largest city in the state of Kerala, India and was part of erstwhile Malabar District.
Canvas
An extremely heavy-duty fabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, and other functions where sturdiness is required.
Cashmere wool
The Cashmere (Kashmir) or down goat. From the fine, soft undercoat or under layer of hair. The straighter and coarser outer coat is called guard hair. From the high plateaus of Asia. Today, little is supplied by the Kashmir State of India, from which its name is derived.
Cloth
Cloth or fabric is a flexible artificial material made up of a network of natural or artificial fibres (thread or yarn) formed by weaving or knitting (textiles), or pressed into felt. Cloth is most often used in the manufacture of clothing, household furnishings, and art such as tapestry.
Coir
A coarse fibre extracted from the fibrous outer shell of a coconut. Brown coir is used in brushes, doormats, mattresses and sacking. A small amount is also made into twine. Pads of curled brown coir fibre, made by needle-felting (a machine technique that mats the fibres together) are shaped and cut to fill mattresses.
