Textile Term: Doeskin
Doeskin is a woolen fabric that is named after its resemblance to the skin of a female deer. It is a medium-weight fabric that has a plush texture and a tightly woven structure.
The surface of the fabric is created by brushing the low pile in one direction, giving it a soft and suede-like feel. The fabric has a luxurious and elegant appearance, making it ideal for winter coats and other high-end clothing items.
The low pile of Doeskin fabric is brushed in one direction, which gives it a distinct nap. This nap creates a smooth and even surface that reflects light in a uniform manner. The fabric has a rich and dense texture that is both comfortable and warm. The tightly woven strands provide excellent insulation, making it ideal for cold-weather clothing.
Doeskin is not only used in the fashion industry but also finds its application in other areas such as pool table surfaces and men's sportswear. In the production of pool tables, the fabric is used as a playing surface as it offers a smooth and consistent playing field.
In men's sportswear, Doeskin is used for its softness and durability, making it suitable for jackets, vests, and other outerwear.
