in Detail from the 17th and 18th Centuries (by Hart and North) on pages
82 and 100. A 1760's man's dress coat of sprigged silk velvet. The

Hi,
I saw the most delightfull printed roses velvet today. It is the kind
of velvet that is wowen into dimentional stripes.
Dont know the english term for this, and i apologise for asking
because many have asked before, but this velvet wich today is used for
trousers and jackets, was that used in 18th century?
If not it is such a shame, it would have ben wonderfull for jackets
and skirts.........
