A type of cloth with a matte finish, created with worsted yarn in a twill, hopsack, or broken rib weave. The woven cloth is finely textured with a slight pebbled effect and faint regular twill lines running in opposite directions. In the tailoring trade it is used for cummerbunds, and we’ve also used barathea cummerbunds to make cushions, curtain hold backs and cushion bands.
