Hello the list:
I'm directing a production of Conor McPherson's The Seafarer, and one
of the characters claims to be wearing a Versace jacket made of
"dogskin." He clarifies that it's a kind of fabric, and another
character feels the sleeve and remarks on its softness.
I'm sure McPherson doesn't mean houndstooth, although I did find a
picture of a Versace tuxedo-style jacket supposedly in houndstooth but
looking distinctly solid-black to me. Certainly the Broadway
production, which McPherson directed, didn't have a character in a
houndstooth-check jacket.
Can't find an answer on the Internet. Does anyone know of a fabric
with this name?
Thank you for any help!
